This ground floor lock-up property we believe was once a branch of Lloyds Bank. It has subsequently been used for retail and more recently as offices for an accountants who have now moved to adjacent premises. Accordingly we believe it benefits from A2/A1 planning consent and could be suitable for offices of an estate agent or similar or alternatively as boutique retail premises.
It comprises a main sales area of some 276 sq.ft to the left with a smaller area of 70 sq.ft. to the right. To the rear of the main area there is a kitchen/store of some 108 sq.ft. plus WC and rear fire escape.
It is currently decorated to a high standard and is ready for immediate occupation.
