*** Superb freehold unit in prime trading position with excellent potential to convert first floor accommodation to increase rent, subject to planning***

The property itself is a terraced retail unit of traditional brick and tile construction.
Internally it provides open plan retail, storage, office and welfare over two floors, with additional storage in the basement. Potential to divide into two separate self contained units subject to necessary planning.

Externally the property has customer parking and a separate garage/lock-up store with an area of approximately 499 sq. ft (46.36 sq. m), which was previously used for storage. There is also separate access to the first floor at the rear of the property. In our opinion there is significant potential to convert to a flat/apartment subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents
