Description

A substantial corner retail property of stone construction beneath a pitched slate roof, currently being separated from the wider building to form a self-contained unit comprising 1 Cow Lane and 134 St James Street. The premises occupy a prominent corner position with a return frontage to both St James Street and Cow Lane, presenting an excellent opportunity for owner-occupiers looking to establish a high-profile town centre presence or investors.

The accommodation is arranged over the ground floor, first floor, and an additional second floor attic space. To facilitate the split, the vendor will be responsible for erecting the internal party walls to divide the property and will install independent electricity and water supplies to the unit.

The configuration provides excellent scope to add value through separate commercial and residential streams, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consent. A front door can be reinstated off St James Street to create a dedicated, high street entrance for the ground floor retail space. Meanwhile, the existing doorway and staircase off Cow Lane can be retained to provide completely independent access to the first floor and second floor attic space, offering potential for conversion into a self contained flat subject to planning.

The property has been extensively refurbished over the years and features an attractive Edwardian style shop front, complete with elegant sash windows at the first floor level. The comprehensive refurbishment program has also included the installation of new lighting, full painting and decorating and new carpeting throughout. There is a vehicle loading bay located directly to the front of the property, alongside various council car parks within a short walking distance.

Location

The property is situated on St James Street, the main retail thoroughfare through Burnley town centre. Other occupants in the immediate vicinity include Marks & Spencer’s, the Charter Walk Shopping Precinct and the Pioneer Place cinema and leisure complex.
