The property comprises an L-shaped retailing space measuring a total of approximately 1050 sq ft (97.5 sqm), with dual frontage onto the road (Bridge Street) and onto Sandgate, a mainly pedestrianised road leading to the old Market Place. Some of the retail floor area has currently been converted to an office and storage, plus a hallway.

A small additional storage area with kitchenette facilities and WCs lies on the northern end of the frontage facing onto Sandgate.

Lastly used as retail premises, this is an area with high levels of tourist footfall, the swing bridge being the only connection between the east and west sides of the town centre and therefore on the route taken by visitors crossing on their way up towards the 199 steps and Whitby Abbey. These premises could suit a variety of users, subject to planning.

PREFERRED LETTING TERMS

The tenant will be responsible for paying the landlord's legal fees for drafting the tenancy agreement.
