Predominantly open plan retail space with storage space to rear and access to service road to the rear of the parade.

Upper Floors - First, second and third floors provide ancillary storage space and will be excluded from the new lease offered on the ground floor. We understand a scheme has been designed for 7 self contained apartments which once developed could yield a rental income of approximately £58,800 PA. No planning consent has been obtained but we believe permission is possible via Permitted Development rights, enquiries relating to this should be made to Tendring District Council.
