Description
An exceptional development and investment opportunity occupying a prominent and highly visible position on Market Street, in the heart of Hyde town centre.

This substantial former HSBC bank building is offered vacant possession and benefits from approved planning permission for a highly attractive mixed-use scheme under planning reference 24/00271/P3N, comprising:

Ground floor commercial unit

Two one-bedroom apartments

Two-bedroom penthouse apartment

The approved consent provides a clear and immediate route for developers to deliver a strong income-producing asset, combining commercial and residential elements in a location well suited to both owner-occupiers and tenants.

The building's generous floor plates, character features, and town-centre configuration also present potential for alternative layouts, including the possibility of conversion into a large HMO or co-living scheme, subject to the necessary planning consents. This flexibility makes the property particularly appealing to investors seeking scalable rental income or future resale opportunities.

Situated within easy walking distance of local amenities, retail outlets, transport links, and public car parks, Hyde continues to see strong rental demand, underpinned by commuter access to Manchester and the wider Greater Manchester area.

Key investment highlights:

Prominent town-centre freehold building

Planning approved for mixed-use commercial and residential scheme

Scope to add significant value through conversion and refurbishment

Strong rental demand for apartments in the area

Potential HMO or alternative residential configuration (STP)

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a former banking hall with planning in place, offering both immediate development certainty and future flexibility ideal for developers, landlords, and strategic investors.

Early inspection and review of the planning documentation and legal pack is strongly recommended.
