Description
The property’s location is its greatest asset, situated in the heart of Warrington’s Cultural Quarter and just a three-minute walk from Warrington Bank Quay Station, providing direct high-speed links to London, Manchester, and Glasgow. Residents will benefit from being steps away from the vibrant Time Square development—home to a Cineworld and the award-winning Warrington Market—as well as the extensive retail options of Golden Square Shopping Centre. With the professional employment hub of Centre Park Business Park nearby and the scenic Queen’s Gardens just a short stroll away, the property is perfectly positioned to attract high-quality professional tenants in a location where demand for co-living consistently outstrips supply. This is a rare opportunity to transform a shell into a premium residential asset in one of the town’s most strategic investment pockets.
