32 Burscough Street, Ormskirk, Ormskirk, L39

A particularly interesting and characterful freehold property arranged over ground, first and second floor levels.
The accommodation is of traditional construction and incorporates a number of period features, with part of the upper-floor accommodation extending over Mystic Mews.
At ground-floor level, the property is presently occupied and fitted out as a pet shop, providing a series of interconnected retail areas with display windows to both Burscough Street and Mystic Mews.
The unusual wraparound configuration provides Burscough Street frontage and, in our opinion, offers potential for subdivision or reconfiguration to provide self-contained retail or other Class E accommodation, subject to any necessary consents.
The upper floors are presently used principally in connection with the existing business and for storage but historically provided HMO/bedsit-style residential accommodation. Historic plans supplied to us illustrate the former arrangement, including bedroom/bedsit accommodation together with kitchen and bathroom facilities.
Historic Building Regulations documentation dated February 1999 also refers to alterations to three bedsits and improved means of escape at 32 Burscough Street.
Accordingly, the property provides an unusual opportunity for an incoming purchaser to consider a variety of future configurations, potentially including self-contained commercial accommodation at ground-floor level with separately accessed residential accommodation above, subject in all cases to the necessary statutory consents.
