Location
The subjects are located to the south side of Leven High Street at its corner
junction with Bank Street, in the main pedestrianised section. One of the town’s
main car parks is situated immediately to the rear of the subjects on South
Street/Viewforth Place.
Leven forms part of the larger Levenmouth conurbation and is located on
the northern shores of the Firth of Forth, circa 6 miles east of Kirkcaldy and
Glenrothes which are the principal administrative centres for the wider Central
Fife area.
Surrounding occupiers comprise a mix of local independent traders
interspersed with national operators including Iceland Frozen Foods, New
Look, Superdrug and Poundland.
Leven Bus Station is also located close to the subjects and provides links to
Edinburgh, Glasgow and St Andrews as well as other major towns and cities
across Scotland.
Accommodation
The subjects are contained within two adjoining buildings, both being of
traditional stone construction with pitched and slated roofs. The main building
to the front, with its elevation onto High Street extends over four floors from
basement to attic whilst the rear building extends over three floors from ground
to second floor.
The two buildings interconnect at ground and first floors, however, due to the
sloping topography of the site, there is a slight disparity in the floor levels,
bridged by a short stair run. Within the front building, the ground, first and part
of the basement floor were used previously as retail sales space whilst the
attic and part of the basement are suitable only for basic storage purposes.
Within the rear building, the ground and first floors are connected with the
front building to provide additional retail space whilst the second floor provides
office, staff canteen, storage and toilet accommodation.
An extensive display frontage spans the full length of the front building looking
onto High Street whilst the rear building also has the benefit of a display
window onto Bank Street as well as dedicated access. Natural light is afforded
to the upper floors of each building via traditional sash and casement windows.
The subjects were formerly occupied by “Cumming of Leven Menswear” and
operated as a department store for many years, however, the premises have
now been fully vacated and consequently have been stripped out and would
require to be refurbished by any new ingoing trader.
