Description
The Former New Vic Inn, historically a part of the Fairhaven Hotel, a Grade II Listed building, consists of five original properties believed to have been constructed in the 19th Century. The unit is self-contained, separate from the Fairhaven Hotel. This development provided open trade space on the ground floor, with storage in the basement.
While the unit is a shell unit, the property is divided into two units that can be let together or separately, as indicated overleaf: Unit A and Unit B are delineated and labeled in red.
Adjacent to the building is an area previously used for alfresco dining during summer months. However, this space is not owned by the vendor. The usage of this area has been authorised by a pavement license from Weymouth and Portland Borough Council.
