DESCRIPTION

11 Station Street is a three storey traditional mid-terraced building with a ground floor commercial unit and residential living space above. Additional basement storage space is accessible at the rear of the property.

The ground floor benefits from a prominent glazed frontage onto Station Street, offering strong display potential and good levels of natural light. The principal retail area leads through to a secondary room, where a WC is currently being installed. A rear access door is situated in this area and flooring repair works are also being undertaken within the ground floor accommodation.

Access to the upper floors is provided via a separate entrance at the right hand side of the property.

The first floor comprises a kitchen and living room, whilst the second floor provides three bedrooms and one main bathroom. The third floor offers useful attic accommodation, providing flexible space suitable for a variety of uses.

The property retains its original timber framed single glazed windows, supplemented internally by secondary double glazed PVC units. Redecoration and modernisation of the upper floor accommodation would be beneficial, with the space also offering potential for refurbishment or conversion to alternative commercial uses, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents and statutory approvals.
