Prominent 17 Acre Land Opportunity in Widnes

17 acre industrial site Ditton Road, Widnes

An established 17 acre industrial site in Widnes has come to the market for the first time.

Mark Diaper & Sam Tarjomani at Legat Owen have been appointed to progress the sale of the land at Ditton Road, Widnes with SBM Management Consultants co-ordinating the sale.

The site is well located in Widnes and falls within the Liverpool City Region Freeport zone.  The location has been enhanced by recent logistics developments at Gorsey Point and Lovells Way and has the advantage of proximity to two major regional metropolitan areas in the UK.

The property is being sold with full vacant possession, with offers invited for the freehold over £8,000,000.

Sam Tarjomani, Director at Legat Owen explained:

“It is rare for a freehold of this scale to come to the market in North West.  The property is allocated as a Primary Employment land use within the Halton Delivery and Allocation (DALP) 2022 and has been an established industrial site since before the 1940s.”

“We are expecting a broad range of interest from a cross section of owner occupier businesses, investors and industrial developers for the property’s next chapter.”

Widnes has benefitted from a resurgence since the Merseyflow Gateway Bridge and is now one the region’s established distribution locations as well as continuing to be a manufacturing centre.  The area is strategically located for both regional and national distribution with immediate access to the national motorway network via the M62, M57, M6 and M56 motorways.

The site boasts a total 280,000 sq ft of industrial space across 15 buildings, up to 40,000 sq ft.  There is ample yard space and loading access around the buildings which is all hard surfaced.
