Regent House comprises a former banqueting hall and nightclub but is now considered suitable for a wide variety of operations. The accommodation is arranged in two main commercial areas together with various storage, back of house and potential kitchen areas and also provides male and female WCs, various fire exits and some outside space suitable for off-street parking or possible alternate uses.
Location
The property is positioned at ground and lower ground floor levels within a larger mixed use building at the junction of Kirkdale, Westwood Hill and Sydenham Road in Sydenham in South East London. Kirkdale is a busy link road between Sydenham and Forest Hill and the property forms part of a well-known local landmark building formerly known as Cobbs Corner. The property is just a few moments’ walk from Sydenham mainline station which provides good communication links into Central London and surrounding areas. The property is able to service an extremely densely populated residential catchment in surrounding areas; Sydenham is conveniently positioned between Crystal Palace, Forest Hill, Bromley and Lewisham. The unit is positioned adjoining a recently refurbished Pure Gym fitness centre which is a major draw to the vicinity.
