3-7 Arcade Street, Wigan, WN1 1DE

A rare opportunity has arisen to acquire an income producing commercial investment along the popular Leisure/bar area of Arcade Street in Wigan Town Centre

The property is a substantial two-storey mid terraced premises, with brick elevations beneath a pitched slate roof. The property consists of a former barbers shop to the ground floor of unit 3, which we understand is now under offer at a rent of £7,188pa (£599pcm). The remainder of the property - ground floor 5-7 and first floor 3-7 is let by way of a 5 year FRI lease at £19,200pa (£1600pcm) from 29/11/23 without break options to an independent bar operator t/a 'Envy Lounge Bar'.

There is considerable scope for future development of this site and to add another floor, with a separate entrance added to Arcade Street and so the upper floors could be converted to residential for a future owner (subject to planning consents).

The property is well located on Arcade Street in an established leisure area within Wigan town centre. It is within close proximity to the £135m town centre redevelopment project which includes 460+ residential units, hotel, cinema, bowling alley, indoor mini golf, event venues, new market hall and more. All of which should help to add further value to this investment over time. Additionally, planning has been accepted for 26 apartments and 4 additional class E units opposite this property to enhance the value of this area further.
