Description
Location
The site enjoys a highly prominent and accessible position fronting the A49 Powell Street, at its junction with Central Park Way - a key gateway route into Wigan town centre. Situated adjacent to the River Douglas, the property benefits from both a pleasant waterside aspect and excellent connectivity.
A wide range of local amenities are easily accessible, with Tesco Extra, McDonald's, and Wigan & Leigh College all located nearby. The site is also within comfortable walking distance of Wigan Bus Station and both Wigan North Western and Wigan Wallgate Train Stations, providing direct rail links to Manchester, Liverpool, and beyond. This strategic location makes the site particularly well-suited for residential, student, or mixed-use development.
Description
The subject property comprises a former retail premises of traditional brick construction, positioned beneath a combination of flat and partially pitched roof structures. The property has already been stripped in preparation for redevelopment, making the site ready for the immediate commencement of works in line with the approved planning consent.

The approved scheme also includes an advertising hoarding to the right-hand elevation, offering an additional income-generating opportunity.
All pre-commencement planning conditions have been fully discharged by our client, enabling an incoming purchaser to proceed directly to development without delay. Full architectural plans, elevations, and associated documentation are available upon request via a dedicated Data Room.
