Description

Located on a high-footfall stretch of Chorlton’s vibrant high street, this substantial property is currently in a "run-down" state, priced to reflect the significant value that can be unlocked through a comprehensive refurbishment. The building’s versatile layout spans four levels, offering the scale required for a high-yield mixed-use conversion or a flagship commercial headquarters.

The ground floor is currently configured into three expansive shop floor areas, providing an impressive footprint that could accommodate a single large-scale retail unit or be subdivided into boutique outlets to maximize rental streams. Below, two cellar rooms offer essential dry storage or the potential for utility and plant room integration.

The upper floors provide significant scope for residential or professional development. The first floor consists of three well-proportioned rooms, while the converted loft space on the second floor offers further accommodation. This vertical space is ideal for conversion into high-end apartments or a large-scale HMO (subject to the necessary planning consents), tapping into Chorlton’s relentless demand for quality rental housing.

Situated just a short walk from the Metrolink and surrounded by the area's famous independent bars, delis, and eateries, this property represents a strategic acquisition in a location where capital appreciation remains consistently strong. For the investor looking to transform a neglected site into a premium high-street asset, 43 Manchester Road is a standout prospect.
