49-51 Main Street, KESWICK, Cumbria

The extensive retail unit provides an attractive triple fronted shop front providing an extensive glazed frontage to Main Street with double personnel access doors and meets DDA requirements due to the street level access.

Internally, the accommodation provides a large open-plan sales area, which has been fitted out by the tenant, Fat Face. The unit is relatively regular in shape. An integral staircase provides access to the first floor storage area and WC.

In addition, the unit benefits from an extensive storeroom area with rear access, staff ancillary areas and WCs at ground floor level also.

Given the size of unit and position along Main Street, in the event of the building becoming vacant, demand is likely to be high. The space could lend itself to a variety of retailers including food and beverage operators.
