A family-run firm's former Macclesfield headquarters has hit the market.

The late home of Fruits of the Forage, on Great King Street, has gone up for sale.

Having started production there in 2018, the organic food distributor moved to a new location on Snape Road in Hurdsfield this summer as they look to expand.

The old Great King Street unit is being marketed as a 'versatile commercial opportunity in the heart of Macclesfield'.

"Formerly operated as an organic food distributor, the premises are well-suited for a wide range of uses," the listing states.

"The property presents excellent potential for mixed-use redevelopment, such as conversion into a flat (subject to planning consent), making it an attractive option for investors and owner-occupiers alike."

Available to lease is a self-contained ground floor space extending to approximately 1,500 sq ft, comprising a multipurpose roadside unit, toilet facilities, industrial-grade refrigeration with ventilation fans, generous storage space, and the benefit of three private parking spaces.

Alternatively, the entire building is available for sale (approximately 2,000 sq ft).

In addition to the leased space, the sale includes a small shop frontage and an upper floor.

The listing adds: "The property occupies a prominent position on Great King Street, a well-established thoroughfare close to Macclesfield town centre.

"The location offers strong visibility to passing traffic and convenient access to the town's shops, amenities, and transport links.

"The property's accessible central setting, coupled with on-site parking, makes it highly practical for both business operations and future development."
