The property is on the ground and lower ground floors of a traditional three storey sandstone building with flats on the upper floors.
The unit benefits from a large double window display with metal protecting grilles. There is a recessed entrance door which is externally protected by a metal roller shutter.
Internally, the property is largely rectangular in shape as shown on the indicative layout plans. At ground floor there is an extensive open plan shop/sales area with two private offices located to the rear. There is an access stairway from ground floor leading to lower ground floor which provides a number of individual offices, store areas plus male, female and accessible toilet facilities.
Whilst the previous occupier maintained a single point of access to the lower ground floor, there was previously a stairway towards the front section of the sales area which was boarded over, but could easily be reinstated by an ingoing occupier, if required.
There is a door at lower ground level which provides access to a shared service yard/lane to the rear of the building.
Location
The property occupies a prominent position on the south side of Sauchiehall Street, by its junction with North Street at Charing Cross. The subjects benefit from excellent transport links with Charing Cross station being in close proximity and St Georges Cross Underground Station within a 10 minute walk. There are regular bus services in the immediate vicinity and close access to the M8 Motorway at junctions 18 and 19.
The property is close to the Park Area with its traditional townhouses in both office and residential uses. However, Sauchiehall Street is a busy commercial thoroughfare connecting Glasgow’s west end to the city centre. Whilst there are a variety of commercial properties in close proximity e.g Penny Black / Post Office, Co-op Convenience Store and Coltart and Earley Architects, this location has seen an increased emergence of leisure and restaurant openings with the likes of Chinaskis, Locale, Bocadillo, Lamora Pizzeria, Akbar’s Restaurant and The Haberdashery all in close proximity.
