A very well-presented period property constructed in 1862 and most recently used as a bar/restaurant with ground floor dinning and bar area together with first floor dining area and kitchen. At basement level there
are well appointed male and female toilets and a fully fitted cellar. The property is constructed of traditional brick elevations punctuated with a number of large display windows with pitched slate tiled roof surfaces and occupies a prominent end of terrace location.
The ground floor is arranged in open plan with an attractive bar area facing the main entrance with stairs to the left leading to the first floor and basement toilets. There is a well-proportioned kitchen at first floor and a fully fitted cellar and with minimal effort the premises could be reinstated as a trading bar/restaurant again. Likewise, the premises would also suit a wide variety of retail and office orientated businesses, looking for a prominent and central trading location.
Location
The property is prominently positioned in the town centre to the northern end of the High Street at the junction where Congleton Road, John Street and the High Street converge and is adjacent to a range of commercial businesses and close to public car parking.
