The premises extends circa 13,678 sq.ft (1270sq m) and was formerly occupied by Wetherspoons. The property benefits from frontages on both Church Street and Queens Head Court. This provides a highly prominent location within the towns 'Royal Market' which is adjacent to the premises giving a substantial year long footfall within the vicinity.

The accommodation comprises to the ground floor two dining areas accessed from Church street and Queens Head Court. Beyond this is a raised Bar area with feature fire place and bar. Commercial kitchens with extraction, a Goods Lift, walk in refrigeration and storage rooms are all situated off the main Bar area along with stairs to the upper stories.

The first floor has multiple access points and can be accessed independently of the ground floor and comprises male and female WCs, along with two large function rooms with period features including ceiling roses overlooking the 'Royal Market'. We also noted a plant room with what appeared to be recently installed equipment in place.

We feel the premises could be split to offer separate first floor residential accommodation along with potentially two or three commercial units to the ground floor. All subject to appropriate planning consents.
