Description

The subject property comprises a ground floor unit with a rear service door with access to a service drop-off bay. Residential accommodation is above and is typical of the adjoining properties along New Road Side with a characterful red brick façade on the upper floors. The commercial unit has a traditional wooden frame with black paintwork shop front with attractive feature glass panels and a characterful inset doorway. Internally the unit is offered in its current condition with scope for the incoming tenant to redecorate and refurbish to suite the use. The unit extends to approx. 365 sq ft and is a single ground floor demise with level access.

The unit has a non uniform triangular shape given its corner position. The current unit has been modernised over time with a suspended ceiling to part and some (non structural) internal subdivision of the unit has also been carried out but the incoming tenant can strip the unit back to shell to reveal higher ceilings and create a more open plan unit if required. The corner position provides return frontage and greater prominence from passing traffic.

The unit also benefits from scope to introduce very popular outside seating (subject to a pavement licence being approved by the council.)
