To the rear, the property features two private rooms that can be utilised for storage, office space, or additional operational needs. The frontage of the shop has had a recent full renovation.

The premises also benefit from access to a substantial basement level, comprising three well-sized rooms and a WC.

The kitchen provides a practical layout with potential for modernisation, while the three-piece bathroom suite is clean and serviceable, offering scope for updating to suit personal taste.
