Overview
Double Fronted Shop and Further Retail Area on 1st Floor – Approx 2,912 sq ft (270.5 sqm)
The Property was formerly a Lloyds Bank which will be going major refurbishment by way of a new Shop Front and hopefully reinstating windows to the side elevation. It is our client’s intentions to strip out the current internal walls leaving a clear space for the next occupier to fit out as per their own requirements.
Ground Floor is approx. 1,455 sq ft to include a large walk-in Safe and downstairs Disabled WC. There is an internal staircase in the middle of the main Retail Area to access the First Floor which can be used for further retailing activities or storage. There is also a Rear Staircase.
The First Floor will also be cleared back to shell condition with Male and Female WC accommodation. At this stage, prospective Tenants requirements can be incorporated into the works that our clients are intending, further details upon request.
Shop 7 next door has recently been Let to Vinegar Hill who are due to open shortly. There is a Convenient Pay & Display Public Car Park in Friars Walk behind the Shop off Court Road, which has around 78 spaces, along with a few parking spaces on Friars Walk itself, allowing up to 2 hours free parking.
