Description
Offered in partnership with Homelet (The Letting Centre) Ltd - Alfreton
Located just off the busy Cornmarket on a pedestrian area in the heart of the city centre is a freehold double fronted office, also the former head office to the well-known Graham Penny Auctions.
The premises are let as two separate offices and we are informed by the seller they are producing an income of £12,500 per annum; this income represents an impressive return against the guide price in excess of 13% per annum.
Two retail units are available, each benefiting from its own WC, independent power supply, and electric shutters, making them suitable for a variety of business uses (subject to relevant consents).
The lower ground floor of No. 5 comprises two to three basement rooms, currently occupied by a well-established tattoo studio, providing an attractive and thriving commercial environment.
The well-maintained accommodation has recently been split into two offices, however, can easily be converted back if desired in the future. The wide shop frontage is served by two double glazed entry doors and the Property Source side to the property consists of a shop front with kitchen, storeroom and separate WC. Steps lead to an internal door with access to the other half of the property, where there is again an impressive shop front with kitchen, lobby with stairs leading down to a large cellar area consisting of three useful storerooms, lobby area with two WCs and a further storeroom.
Opposite the offices are the Leek United Building Society, Scargill Mann and Co Estate Agents and nearby businesses include Greggs, Tesco and a number of bars and restaurants all within walking distance.
Two self-contained retail units
Separate WC facilities for each unit
