Substantial Retail Property – 4,349 SQ.FT. (May Suit Sub-Division &/or Part Residential Conversion STP)

The premises comprise originally two adjoining two storey mid terrace retail properties, now combined. Constructed in brick with ‘mock Tudor’ frontage with a pitched tile roof supported on timber roof trusses.

The property would appear suited for owner occupation or sub division back to two retail/commercial units and offers the potential to convert the first floor to residential, subject to the required consents being obtained.

To the left-hand side of the units is a passageway leading down the side of the property to rear fire escapes and stairwells.

The accommodation has been laid out to provide both ground floor and first floor sales areas, together with ancillary storage.

The internal specification is typical of a high street clothing retailer with air conditioning and feature lighting.
