The subjects form part of an attractive building which has been renovated and maintained to a high standard throughout. Originally dating back to the 1930s, the building’s architecture is reflective of its era. Ormiston’s unique War memorial stands at the entrance to Cockburn Halls on Main Street and provides a striking entrance to Cockburn Halls 1, whilst Cockburn Halls 2, 3 and 4 are accessed from entrances off George Street.
The subjects are entirely self-contained and the private entrance foyer leads through to an open plan office with a smaller private office to the rear. There is a further private office situated just to the right of the open plan space with a separate meeting room adjacent to the main entrance. There is a staff kitchen as well as WC facilities which are exclusive to the accommodation.
Our client’s intention is to secure an occupier for the whole accommodation but consideration will be given to leasing individual rooms on a short-term licence basis.
