About this home
FOR SALE BY TRADITIONAL AUCTION – SUBSTANTIAL CONVERTED MILL WITH DEVELOPMENT & INCOME POTENTIAL – SANDBACH TOWN CENTRE
An exceptional opportunity to acquire a partially renovated converted mill in the heart of Sandbach town centre, offering a high-yielding mixed-use investment with significant asset management and development potential.
This impressive freehold building extends to approximately 12,000 sq ft and comprises three substantial apartments, a large ground floor commercial unit, and additional income from a telecommunications lease.
The property retains character features throughout and benefits from communal areas with lift access, a quirky post room, bin store, resident car parking, and a single garage.
The property presents a compelling investment opportunity with strong and diverse rental income streams. The penthouse apartment is expected to achieve approximately £1,800 per calendar month, while Apartment 2, now fully finished, is projected to generate £2,000 per calendar month. Apartment 1 is anticipated to achieve a similar £2,000 per calendar month once completed. In addition, the ground floor offers significant further potential; subject to division into three or four apartments and the relevant change of use approvals, it is anticipated to produce a minimum annual income of £45,000. Complementing the residential income, the building also benefits from an existing telecoms agreement generating a further £20,000 per annum, enhancing the overall yield and providing a stable supplementary revenue stream.

Guide Price An indication of the seller’s current minimum acceptable price at auction. The guide price or range of guide prices is given to assist consumers in deciding whether or not to pursue a purchase. It is usual, but not always the case, that a provisional reserve range is agreed between the seller and the auctioneer at the start of marketing. As the reserve is not fixed at this stage and can be adjusted by the seller at any time up to the day of the auction in the light of interest shown during the marketing period, a guide price is issued. This guide price can be shown in the form of a minimum and maximum price range within which an acceptable sale price (reserve) would fall, or as a single price figure within 10% of which the minimum acceptable price (reserve) would fall. A guide price is different to a reserve price (see separate definition). Both the guide price and the reserve price can be subject to change up to and including the day of the auction
Reserve The sellers minimum acceptable price at auction and the figure below which the auctioneer cannot sell. The reserve price is not disclosed and remains confidential between the seller and the auctioneer. Both the guide price and the reserve price can be subject to change up to and including the day of the auction
