Westfield Street, St Helens

Mersey Move Commercial are pleased to offer to let this recently refreshed and highly versatile commercial premises in St Helens town centre, providing approximately 1,250 sq ft of ground floor accommodation together with a further approximately 550 sq ft basement/cellar storage area.

Previously operated as a pub/bar, the property retains a layout that works particularly well for hospitality and customer-facing businesses, while also offering considerable scope for alternative commercial uses. The premises have recently been painted and refreshed by the landlord, providing an improved starting point for an incoming occupier to fit out and brand the property around their own business.

A significant benefit is the existing alcohol licence attached to the premises, making the property particularly attractive to prospective bar, pub, restaurant or other licensed hospitality operators.

The accommodation could, however, lend itself to a much broader range of businesses. Subject to the necessary planning, licensing and landlord consents, potential uses could include a restaurant, grill, hot food takeaway, café, dessert venue, retail store, convenience-style retail, showroom, salon, beauty business, studio, leisure operator, events venue or other service-led commercial use.

Internally, the main ground floor provides a substantial and predominantly open-plan customer-facing space which can be adapted to suit the requirements of the incoming business. The existing bar counter and service arrangement remain particularly useful for hospitality operators, but the floor area could equally be reconfigured for restaurant seating, retail displays, counters, treatment stations, customer waiting areas or other trading layouts.

Customer WC provision is already in place.

A further basement/cellar area of approximately 550 sq ft provides valuable ancillary accommodation for storage, stock, equipment, supplies or general operational use, allowing the principal ground floor trading area to remain focused on customers.

The property also benefits from a secure parking space to the rear, providing useful parking or access for an owner-operator, staff member, deliveries or stock movement.

Its prominent town-centre position, existing commercial layout and breadth of potential uses make this an opportunity that should appeal to considerably more than traditional pub or bar operators. Whether an occupier is looking for hospitality premises, a food-led venue, retail space or another customer-facing commercial use, the building provides a flexible platform from which to establish and develop their business.

Business rates are to be assessed.

All uses are subject to any necessary planning, licensing and landlord consents.
