DESCRIPTION

Most recently occupied by the Original Factory Shop, the property offers substantial retail accommodation across the ground floor with office and staff facilities to the upper floors. Adjoining to the rear of the property is a warehouse with a mezzanine floor which has roller shutter access onto an extensive car park, included within the demise of the property.

The Original Factory Shop were a long-standing tenant of the premises having taken occupation in 1999, and as a result the site is an established commercial pitch within the town. Prior to this the building was occupied by a supermarket but has also had light industrial use in the past. The property therefore offers flexibility in terms of potential commercial users, subject to interested parties obtaining the relevant consents.

Given the existing layout of the property, the landlord is open to the subdivision of the internal parts with the potential for several tenants to occupy the space, details of which are provided within the lease terms section.
