The subjects comprise a double fronted unit with electric roller shutters arranged over the ground floor of an end of terrace, two storey block with residential units on the first floor. There is plenty of parking available outside and on the surrounding streets.
These deceptively large premises are currently set up as an office but would also be suitable for retail use with a distinct front shop/back shop arrangement. The front area is afforded plenty of natural light due to the two large windows. A small set of steps lead you up to the rear section where there is a small store/kitchen just off to the right. A further set of steps lead up to a large rear area which could be utilised as storage space or a display area.
The WC facilities are in the mid-section of the shop and there’s a DDA accessible WC just off the main shop area.
