The premises comprise a first floor office suite forming part of a retail and office development created out of the sympathetic redevelopment of the Grade II listed Victorian former St Mary’s Schoolrooms with two other separately occupied office suites at first floor level and a restaurant and five retail units on the ground floor.
Other trades currently represented in the Mews include a specialist candle shop, a hairdresser, a nail salon, an artist gallery and a recruitment company. The accommodation is fitted with comfort cooling, floor boxes, Category II suspended lighting, carpeting and has attractive original beam features with the availability of the premises likely to be of interest to office or other commercial users requiring a town centre presence in an attractive setting.
