Description
A Birkenhead landmark, with this imposing red-brick building, known as the Birkenhead Pram and Toy Centre. Having traded for almost a century, the building is now up for sale via Auction, to be ‘sold as seen,’ including stock*. The property itself provides significant opportunity for developers and investors, such is the configuration, with three distinct parts to the building, and three access points. It could be converted to provide three commercial units, or two commercial units and a residential flat (subject to consents). The building is currently configured as 3 x showroom areas, one with counter/till, and one with an office. There are 2 x large upstairs storage rooms, and a basement area used as workshop, along with cloakroom. To the rear of the plot, there is a dedicated parking space. The property requires a full refurbishment, following which, could make an excellent investment. Please note, all Planning enquiries should be made to Wirral Borough Council.
*The sale is for the building and contents only, this is not a sale of the business that has now ceased trading.
