Streatham High Road, London, SW16

LOCATION: - The property is situated fronting Streatham High Road in a highly prominent position close to Streatham Hill station in a popular trading pitch. The property immediately adjoins a Tesco convenience store which enhances foot-flow to the locality and there is a Fitness First directly opposite. There is also a pedestrian crossing immediately outside the subject unit which leads to further foot-flow but also encourages vehicular traffic to stop immediately outside. Streatham High Road forms part of the main A23 commuter route and the property benefits from considerable volumes of passing vehicular traffic which is particularly heavy during the rush-hour periods. The surrounding area is an extremely densely populated and increasingly affluent catchment which the locality is able to service.

DESCRIPTION: - The property comprises a ground floor former banking hall currently subject to works of alteration and some reconfiguration. The property is arranged internally as two main areas and can be split to provide two individual units depending on tenant requirements. The property has a large overall frontage of 13m and internally the property is to be configured to provide good sized sales space with two sets of entrance doors together with useful ancillary storage, internal WCs and rear fire exits. The property is to have new fully glazed shop fronts, solid floors throughout and air conditioning (not tested).
