WATER STREET, CHORLEY, PR7 1EX

Description
Alliance Retail Park provides an attractive well
presented scheme totalling 18,865 sq ft, arranged
across 2 units. Currys PC World occupy 13,865 sq ft
and Carpetright the adjoining unit of 5,000 sq ft.
Both units benefit from excellent visibility from the
A6 and the B6229.

The units are of a modern style, having been
completed in 2006, and are of standard retail
warehouse construction, with a steel portal frame
with brickwork facade and metal profile sheet
cladding above. The tenants’ signage is displayed
clearly above the entrance features.

Internally, both units are fitted out to the tenants’
standard specification. The Currys PC World unit
incorporates a storage mezzanine floor, and there
is sufficient eaves height to install one within the
Carpetright unit.

Car parking is located to the front of the units and
to the side of the Currys PC World unit and totals
85 spaces. This equates to a ratio of 1:222 sq ft.
Servicing is to the side and rear of the units within
a dedicated service yard.

The site area totals 1.504 acres (0.609 ha), giving
a low site cover of 28.8%.
