A former Wilko store in Bedford town centre has been put up for sale for circa £1.75m.
The vacant 36,900 sq ft building, which is arranged over ground, first and second floors, is located on High Street, overlooking the town square. The site offers the potential for existing use, leisure and/or residential redevelopment.
Nathan George, associate and head of agency at Kirkby Diamond’s Bedford office, which has been instructed to market the property, said: “While the closure of the Wilko store was undoubtedly a blow, the potential transformation of the building in a fantastic high street location could bring a welcome boost to the town centre.
“The property offers a wonderful opportunity to an investor or developer to remodel the building and to attract new retail or leisure occupiers. We expect there to be a great deal of interest in acquiring the freehold of this important building.”
