Prominent town centre building up for sale
The building at 135-139 Bradshawgate in the town centre will go on auction on August 27.
The unit used to be a Fitness First, before becoming a couple of shops, including a clothing shop and a world foods shop.
But the building, which sat adjacent to the BMW Williams garage before it was demolished, has sat empty since 2020.
Now, it has been listed for sale for £550,000 by auctioning house Pugh and Co.
It will go on public online auction at the end of the month, on August 27.
The three storey, 8,300 square foot building has a number of "small lock up" type retail units on the ground floor, with former offices on the first and second floors.
The advert, which is on property site Rightmove, states that "indicative plans" have been drawn up to convert the upper floors into a mixture of one and two bedroom apartments.

It says that "initial discussions" with the council have taken place.
The advert reads: "The property is prominently situated fronting onto Bradshawgate in Bolton Town Centre, an area currently undergoing significant regeneration with a number of neighbouring sites earmarked for development, primarily through InvestInBolton.
"The property comprises a number of small "lock up" retail units on the ground floor with former office accommodation on the first and second floors.
"Indicative plans have been drawn to convert the upper floors into apartments detailing a mixture of one and two bedrooms ranging from 50 Sq.M to 70 Sq.M.
"Initial discussions with Bolton Council have taken place and a copy of all plans and correspondence is included within the legal pack."
This comes after plans were entered to turn a vacant former Bradshawgate bar into a shop and flats.
The site had been the home of Courtney's Bar until its closure last year and has been empty ever since.
Now plans put to the council propose to turn the ground floor of the building into a shop with three studio flats and another studio flat on the first floor.
