Description

***Quote Ref: 802208 when calling***

Forward thinking businesses and savvy investors will see the huge potential in this striking and unique commercial space, offering room to grow, adapt and create a strong base for future success. Opportunities like this are hard to find in the local area, adding real weight to its appeal and long term value.

As you arrive, the property makes an immediate impression with parking available to the front and ample additional parking to the rear, giving ease for staff and visitors alike. Although the frontage appears modest at first glance, the building is deceiving in its depth and scale. The drone images clearly show how far the space extends, revealing a substantial interior that offers far more than you might expect from the street view.

The entrance is secure and practical, with an electric shutter to the front door providing added peace of mind outside working hours. Stepping inside, you are welcomed by a spacious reception area that sets a professional tone. This area is bright and well presented, offering a comfortable place to greet clients and create a strong first impression. Fresh carpets and recently decorated walls run throughout the building, giving a clean and modern feel from the moment you walk in.

The main studio room is one of the most exciting features of the property. Originally used as a film studio, this large open space has been set up with lighting that will remain as part of the sale. The scale of this room allows for a wide range of uses. It can continue as a creative studio, content production space or training area, or it could be reconfigured into separate offices or meeting rooms if required. The flexibility here is a major advantage for a growing business that needs room to adapt. The existing lighting set up is a real bonus, saving both time and money for anyone in media, photography or digital production.

Beyond the studio space, there are seven working areas in total, each finished to a high standard. These rooms vary in size, making them suitable for private offices, shared desks, meeting rooms or breakout spaces. The layout supports both collaborative work and quiet focus, which is ideal for modern businesses that value flexibility. The fresh carpets underfoot and neutral décor create a professional backdrop that can easily suit any brand style.

The working kitchen is practical and well placed, giving staff a comfortable area to prepare food and take a break. This helps support a positive working environment and keeps teams on site during the day. Separate bathroom facilities are also provided, finished in good order and ready for immediate use. In addition, there is plenty of storage space throughout the building, helping to keep work areas clear and organised.

The property measures approximately 2365 sq ft, offering a generous amount of space for a wide range of commercial uses. It has been fitted with a three phase electricity supply, making it suitable for businesses that require higher power capacity for equipment or specialist operations. This feature adds to the overall flexibility of the building and opens the door to a broader range of commercial activities.

Energy efficiency has also been considered, with an EPC rating of C and modern low energy lighting installed throughout. These features help to reduce running costs and create a more sustainable working environment. For growing businesses watching their overheads, this is an important advantage. Lower energy use means better control of monthly expenses, helping to support long term financial planning.

The overall finish inside is to a very high standard. Everything feels ready to use from day one, allowing a new owner or tenant to move in with minimal disruption. There is no sense of compromise here, just clean lines, fresh décor and a layout that makes sense. Whether used as a single headquarters for one company or divided into shared working areas for multiple businesses, the building offers real flexibility.

For investors, the potential to create a shared office hub is particularly appealing. With seven working areas plus the large studio space, there is scope to let rooms to different businesses, creating multiple income streams under one roof. The size and layout support this model well, and the parking provision adds further value for occupiers. For a growing company, the benefit lies in having room to expand without needing to relocate in the short term. Teams can grow into the space, using different areas as needs change. Spaces of this scale and flexibility rarely come to market in this part of Littleborough, making this a genuinely unique opportunity.

Excellent visibility and accessibility add further strength to the offering. The property sits in a position where it can be easily found by clients and visitors, helping to raise the profile of any business based here. Access to the building is straightforward, and there is a bus stop directly outside, making it ideal for staff who may not drive. Smithy Bridge train station is also just a short walk away, giving convenient rail access for commuting. The premises is within close access to M62 making it perfect for commuting from other areas.

The location in Littleborough places the property within easy reach of Rochdale and surrounding areas. This makes it a more economical base compared to larger nearby towns and cities, while still benefiting from strong connections. Road links also connect easily to Rochdale and beyond, supporting commuting from a wide catchment area.

Being close to Rochdale allows businesses to tap into a larger commercial network while enjoying potentially lower occupancy costs. This balance of affordability and accessibility is attractive to both established companies and start ups looking to manage budgets carefully. The area continues to see steady interest from a range of sectors, adding to the long term appeal of the location.

Local amenities in Littleborough add everyday convenience. There are shops, cafés and services within easy reach, giving staff options for lunch breaks and informal meetings. This helps create a pleasant working routine and can improve staff satisfaction. Nearby green spaces and the surrounding landscape also offer a welcome change of pace at the end of a busy day.

For investors considering a multi let setup, the proximity to strong transport links, including the bus stop outside and the nearby train station, makes the building easier to market to potential tenants. Smaller businesses often look for good value space with simple access to public transport and main roads, and this property meets those needs well. In addition, the property is expected to qualify for Small Business Rate Relief under the Small Business Rate Relief scheme, subject to the occupier meeting the required criteria. This could provide further savings and make the space even more attractive to eligible users.

In summary, this is a versatile, high quality and genuinely unique commercial building in Littleborough. From the impressive studio space and flexible working rooms to the modern lighting, three phase electricity and generous parking, it offers a solid base for growth. Combined with its accessible position close to Rochdale, a bus stop directly outside and Smithy Bridge train station within walking distance, it stands out as a rare opportunity in the local market.
