The subjects comprise a ground floor unit with ornate sales frontage. The unit forms part of a larger three-storey and attic mid-terraced tenement of traditional sandstone construction under a pitched and slated roof, together with a four-storey flat roof projection at the rear.
The sales frontage has a painted external finish and includes two large display windows set either side of an aluminium casement customer entrance door.
The internal accommodation extends to an open-plan sales area, prep area, office, and toilet. The unit benefits from tiled floors together with wipe clean panel clad walls and suspended acoustic tile ceilings within the principal areas. There is a stainless steel extraction hood at the rear of the sales area.
Location
The property occupies a prime position within the heart of Dumfries town centre amongst a variety of national traders. Dumfries, with a population of around 33,000, is the largest town in Dumfries & Galloway and is therefore southwest Scotland’s main shopping and administrative centre. Whilst the property is located on the eastern side of Queensberry Street, it is clearly visible from the High Street and falls within the pedestrianised retail zone.
The unit lies adjacent to the Midsteeple which is host to several public events throughout the year. Nearby commercial occupiers include Your Move, Virgin Money, Boots, Costa, Marks & Spencer, Greggs, Bank of Scotland, Bodycare, and Vodafone. The Loreburne Shopping Centre also lies around 100 yards to the south. In addition, the property is well placed within the town’s late night licensed trade circuit and lies only 60 yards from the Munches Street taxi rank.
