Description

The subject property is arranged over two floors, with the first floor flat being sold off on a long lease. The ground floor retail premises are let to Oxfam and consist of two shops, which have been combined into one but potentially, if the property became vacant, these can be converted back into two premises again. In our opinion, the rental income could be improved and our estimation is that it would fall in the region of £30,000pax.

Offers are invited in the region of £375,000 for the freehold interest.
