“Leigh has a vibrant seafront already but the addition of The Grand being completed will be a big boost,” Leigh ward Liberal Democrat councillor Peter Wexham said.

“It will be great to see the place back as it should be; with its historic façade a shining landmark for Leigh.

“It’s been a building site for some while, so we are very happy to see that the flats are done and going on sale.”

Interested potential buyers are invited to register for launch events on March 9 and 10.

“This iconic building has been carefully and sympathetically restored providing buyers with a unique opportunity to own a home that combines the splendour of a bygone era with the luxury benefits of a brand new high-specification apartment,” Blueprint Estate Agents, the firm managing sales, says.

All of the apartments are two-bedroom, with an en-suite bathroom to the principal bedroom, bespoke kitchens, underfloor heating, and access to a private rooftop terrace space.

Several apartments also boast dressing areas and private outside space.

A spokesman for 460 Leisure previously told the Echo there had been “lots of interest” in the apartments.

All homes come fitted with energy-efficient boilers, energy-saving light bulbs and double-glazed timer windows.

The asking price for the premium location is a someway above Leigh’s average property price of £464,567 for sales last year, according to Right Move data.

The majority of sales in Leigh in 2022 were semi-detached properties, selling for an average price of £495,805.

Flats sold for an average of £283,258, with detached properties fetching £657,677.

The original hotel dates back to 1899 when it was known as The Family and Commercial Hotel.

The building was owned by the late television star and businessman Mick Norcross, who died in January 2021.

In 2017 Mr Norcross was granted planning permission to convert the old building.
