An excellent opportunity to lease a substantial and characterful ground floor pub occupying a highly prominent position on Church Street in the heart of Eccles town centre.
Known as the Duke of York, this well-established pub extends to approximately 3,500 sq ft across the ground floor and benefits from a large basement/cellar, providing extensive storage and operational space.
The property comprises a fully fitted and operational pub with a spacious main bar area, central bar servery, multiple seating zones, entertainment space and ancillary staff facilities including kitchen and preparation areas. The flexible internal layout makes the property suitable for a range of hospitality and leisure concepts, including a traditional pub, sports bar, live entertainment venue, restaurant-bar hybrid or other customer-facing commercial use, subject to the necessary consents.
The building itself is an attractive and characterful period property with excellent kerb appeal, featuring striking architecture and a commanding frontage onto Church Street. Large front-facing windows provide excellent natural light and visibility, creating a welcoming customer environment.
A major benefit of the property is its strategic location immediately next to Morrisons in Eccles town centre, generating significant daily footfall and passing trade. The surrounding area comprises a strong mix of retail, food, leisure and service occupiers, creating a busy and established commercial destination.
Eccles benefits from excellent transport connectivity, including nearby bus, rail and tram links, together with straightforward access to the M602, M60 and wider Greater Manchester motorway network. Manchester city centre is located only a short distance away, further enhancing the location’s appeal.
Please note the upper floors are not included within the letting and are separately occupied as residential accommodation.
This represents a rare opportunity to secure a landmark hospitality venue in a prominent town centre position with strong trading potential.
