Legat Owen is pleased to bring Burford House to market, a landmark retail opportunity in the heart of Crewe town centre, located at the prominent junction of Prince Albert Street and Earle Street.
This exciting leasehold development offers up to 5,100 sq ft of flexible ground floor retail space, with units ranging from 775 sq ft to 1,980 sq ft, available individually or combined. Positioned directly opposite Memorial Square, Burford House is ideally placed to attract high footfall and visibility, making it a prime location for retailers, cafés, restaurants, and creative businesses.
The property has already sparked significant local interest, reflecting the community’s enthusiasm for regeneration and the growing momentum in Crewe’s transformation. The upper floors of Burford House are set to be converted into high-quality residential apartments, with planning permission already in place, further enhancing the mixed-use appeal of the site.
Located adjacent to the refurbished Crewe Market Hall and close to the Lyceum Theatre, Burford House sits at the centre of a wider regeneration programme, including the new Crewe History Centre (opening Summer 2026) and new office and co-working premises.
Andy Butler, Director at Legat Owen, commented:
“Burford House is more than just a retail opportunity — it’s a chance to be part of Crewe’s story of renewal. We’re excited to help shape a vibrant future for the town centre, and welcome both local businesses and national operators to explore the potential this location offers.”
Eligible tenants may apply for a grant of up to £30,000 from Cheshire East Council, supporting fit-out, equipment, and shop front improvements. Further details here: https://openincrewe.co.uk/
