Full Description: The Grade II listed former Ramsbottom Co-Operative Hall is prominently located on Bolton St, the main high street of Ramsbottom, and comprises of three floors with additional basement and lower basement levels. The creation of an additional fourth floor is also viable by way of infilling the more-than-generous ceiling void on the top floor, bringing the total Gross Internal Area to circa 12,000sq.ft.

The building is income-producing and part-occupied with various uses, with an award winning established Indian Restaurant and Barber shop occupying the ground floor, bringing in a combined rent per annum of £27,000 The upper office floors, accessed independently from the ground floor are currently unoccupied and an already developed alternative scheme for the conversion of the office space to create 11 stunning apartments may be suitable (subject to planning consent with Bury Council).

The building is situated in the heart of Ramsbottom town centre, less than 5-minutes' drive from the M66 providing direct onward access to and from the M60 and M62. Supported uses are likely to include restaurants, cafes, retail premises, offices, gymnasium, dance studio, studio space, places of worship, residential and more (subject to relevant consents).

Constructed in 1874, the building has retained many of its significant architectural features; the original stone staircase rises to a lofty hall with cast-iron columns and a timber gallery to three sides, and a panelled wagon roof supported by Gothic side aisles of cast-iron and timber. The interior retains decorative cast-iron columns, beam plates, and roof timbers and remnants of painted decoration to the roof panels and secondary staircase in the hall, also an impressive main staircase with a decorative balustrade.
