Ashworth House, the former home of Endsleigh Insurance Brokers in Manchester Road, is available on a freehold basis with a current asking price of £900,000.

A spokesman for Endsleigh said: “We are moving to a new space because it is better for our current and future needs.

“Burnley Council has supported the move and helped us to find a new premises.

“There will be more information on the types of roles available in the coming months.

“The aim is to move into the new premises in January 2016.”
