Church Street, Frodsham

A prominent mixed use retail/residential property offering exciting opportunities for small business operators, professional service providers and possible development potential to full residential use.


The previous well known business has traded successfully for many decades. Due to the owners retirement, the property is now being offered for sale as a vacant mixed use opportunity. It is likely that the new owners will be cash buyers or be able to secure commercial finance due to the nature of the property.

Over the years, the building has been adapted and altered to suit the needs of the previous business but the design and layout could be varied to suit other needs.

It may be possible to develop the property to full residential use or any other use, subject to the relevant planning permission and building regulation approval being obtained.

The ground and first floor retail areas, (80 Church Street) provide excellent showroom areas with supporting storage, welfare and ancillary rooms. The upper level (80a Church Street) is currently arranged as a self contained apartment. This is spacious home with living room, double bedroom, kitchen and bathroom.

There is a substantial double garage with upper storage level located to the rear of the building. Separate access and parking is available via Martin Road.
