DESCRIPTION
The subjects comprise a double fronted shop unit over the ground floor of an end of terrace two storey block with residential units on the first floor. There is plenty of parking available outside and on the surrounding streets.
These deceptively large premises previously traded as a café but would now suit a wide range of alternative uses compliant with its class 1 consent. The front shop area is afforded plenty of natural light due to the two large windows creating a pleasant retail space. A small set of steps lead you up to the rear sections of the shop where there is a small store/staff office just off to the right. A further set of steps lead up to a large rear shop area which could be utilised as storage space or a display area.
The WC facilities are in the mid-section of the shop and there’s a DDA accessible WC just off the main shop area.
