Description
A prominent retail unit fronting onto Stramongate, this well-positioned property offers an excellent opportunity for a variety of retail or commercial uses.

Upon entering off Stramongate, the property provides a spacious retail sales area. The accommodation is currently partitioned to create a separate area to the rear, which has been utilised as a food preparation space. This area benefits from generous worktop and preparation surfaces together with a sink unit. To the rear of this area a door leads out to WC facilities. The property has also been rewired in places and a new floor fitted throughout.

Although most recently used for the sale of food and drinks, the property would lend itself to a wide variety of alternative commercial uses, including beauty or salon premises, office accommodation, or general retail, subject to the necessary planning consents.

The property is available to let on a new lease for a term of years to be agreed at an asking rent of £9600 per annum. The buildings insurance for the property is charged back to the tenant and split between the residential accommodation above.
