ICONIC WIRRAL LANDMARK FOR SALE

The Cheshire Lines and Shorelines site and buildings, have come to market, marking one of the largest and most significant commercial property development opportunities in Merseyside today.

The iconic redbrick former rail storage sheds, built in 1884, sit at the heart of Wirral’s business district, and are being marketed by Smith and Sons, alongside Worthington Owen, for approx. £5million.

The combined floor area of Cheshire Lines and Shorelines spans some 141,591 sq ft with 135 car parking spaces, whilst the site in total extends to over one acre. 

The historic nature of the site, its central waterfront location amongst the epic Wirral Water development, and the sheer size and scale, present a unique and exciting opportunity.

Jason Wadeson, Partner at Smith and Sons commented: “We’re incredibly pleased to bring this site to market – the scope and potential is immense for the relocation of a business or public sector organisation to create an impressive HQ, or for an investor who is able to optimise the far reaching benefits of the site itself.”

At present, Shorelines remains fully occupied, with several tenants in situ at Cheshire Lines providing an immediate income.

Andrew Owen of Worthington Owen added: “Rarely do buildings such as this come to market and the opportunities are endless. The buildings and site are offered at a very attractive price, and there really isn’t anything comparable available today in either Wirral or Liverpool.”

Cheshire Lines and Shorelines enjoy a rich and varied history, having been built to store goods by the transport authority who owned the site until 1961. It was later redeveloped as a call centre by Mersey Development Corporation and occupied by Littlewoods Pools followed by Park Foods. During the past two decades, Cheshire Lines has been home to Wirral Borough Council, whilst Shorelines has been occupied by MD Insurance.
