The subjects comprise a large double- fronted mid terraced retail unit that holds a central position on an established retail parade. The unit forms part of the ground floor of a three storey mid terraced Category B Listed traditional building which has residential flatted dwellings on the upper floors. The unit extends into a collection of single storey buildings to the rear that are interlinked by a series of doorways and which benefit from a secondary form of access via the building’s common close.
Location
Helensburgh is a seaside town located on the Firth of Clyde at its entrance to Gare Loch and is approximately 25 miles to the northwest of Glasgow city centre. Helensburgh is one of the principal towns in Argyll & Bute and has a popular retail market boosted by tourism during the summer months. There are established bus links and a railway line between the town and Glasgow with regular ferry services between Helensburgh, Rosneath and Greenock.
The subjects themselves are situated on the northmost side of West Princes Street, a short distance to the west of the junction with Colquhoun Square. West Princes Street is one of the main thoroughfares in the town and has recently benefited from streetscape works. On-street parking is available immediately in front of the premises while public bus stops and Helensburgh Central Train Station lie a short distance to the east.
Accommodation
The accommodation benefits from a large regular shaped main retail area which is predominantly open plan in nature with various stores and an office to the rear.
We calculate the net internal floor area of the property at 189.28 sq m (2,037 sq ft).
