Redevelopment opportunity hits the market in Crosby

A prominent retail unit has been brought on to the market in Crosby, North Merseyside, for £425,000.

Formerly the video and audio shop, P&A Audio, the agents marketing the property say the building could suit a multitude of uses, including office, clinic or conversion to residential, subject to planning.

Totalling more than 5,000 sq ft, the property at 98 Liverpool Road comprises a traditional detached ground and first floor premises of red brick construction with a pitched slate roof.

The premises occupy a prominent position on Liverpool Road (A565) at the Claremont Road Junction, which is a busy commuter route from the city centre to Crosby and beyond.

Agents Hitchcock Wright and Partners are selling the property on behalf of owners P&A Audio.

P&A will continue to trade from its Southport branch on Princes Street.

Matt Kerrigan, partner at Hitchcock Wright & Partners, said: “This property offers a fantastic opportunity for a retailer, or someone with the vision to convert the space into office or residential accommodation, subject to planning.

“In close proximity to the newly-regenerated Crosby town centre, the property benefits from high footfall and a strong local community who enjoy the area’s varied offerings. It’s an opportunity not to be missed.”

The surrounding properties are of mixed use, including Merchant Taylors’ School, St Mary’s College and a car repair garage to the rear.

Other nearby leisure occupiers include Crosby Comrades Club and Pioneer Bar and Brasserie.
