Description
Description
The property comprises a detached, single-storey commercial unit of brick construction with a flat felt roof. Internally, it has most recently operated as a hair and beauty salon and now offers clean, well-presented accommodation ready for re-use or adaptation.
The layout features a spacious open-plan area with multiple partitioned rooms suitable for treatment, office, or consulting use, along with a kitchen, WC and ancillary storage. The interior benefits from laminate flooring, suspended ceilings with LED lighting, and a gas central heating system.
Externally, the property offers a forecourt providing on-site parking for approximately 7 vehicles, and a secure, gated rear yard surfaced in tarmac and concrete. The unit is suitable for retail, healthcare, salon, office, or other commercial uses (subject to consents), and the landlord is willing to refurbish or redevelop by agreement, depending on lease terms and tenant covenant.
