A landmark retail opportunity has been brought to market in the heart of Crewe town centre, located at the prominent junction of Prince Albert Street and Earle Street.

Positioned directly opposite Memorial Square, Burford House is ideally placed to attract high footfall and visibility, making it a prime location for retailers, cafés, restaurants, and creative businesses.

This exciting leasehold development offers up to 5,100 square foot of flexible ground floor retail space, with units ranging from 775 square foot to 1,980 square foot, available individually or combined.

The property has already sparked significant local interest, reflecting the community's enthusiasm for regeneration and the growing momentum in Crewe's transformation.

This leasehold development offers up to 5,100 square foot of flexible ground floor retail space, with units ranging from 775 square foot to 1,980 square foot, available individually or combined (Matthew Peddle).

The upper floors of Burford House are set to be converted into high-quality residential apartments, with planning permission already in place, further enhancing the mixed-use appeal of the site.

Located adjacent to the refurbished Crewe Market Hall and close to the Lyceum Theatre, Burford House sits at the centre of a wider regeneration programme, including the new Crewe History Centre (opening summer 2026) and new office and co-working premises.

Director at Legat Owen, Andy Butler, told Nub News: "Burford House is more than just a retail opportunity, it is a chance to be part of Crewe's story of renewal.

"We are excited to help shape a vibrant future for the town centre, and welcome both local businesses and national operators to explore the potential this location offers."

Eligible tenants may apply for a grant of up to £30,000 from Open in Crewe, supporting fit-out, equipment, and shop front improvements.

Subject to local authority approval, outdoor seating may also be permitted along Prince Albert Street.

Interested parties are advised to contact Andy Butler or Harriet Cope at Legat Owen on 01270 621001.
