The subjects comprise a ground floor retail unit with a part return frontage, contained within a larger 2 storey traditional stone built premises, surmounted by a pitched and slated roof.
Externally, the property benefits from a timber framed and single glazed entrance door and display, which are protected by manual roller security shutters. The property benefits from what appears to be a double frontage which at the time of inspection was partly closed off on the left-hand side of the unit, although there could be the potential to open up the frontage entirely to create a much larger and more visible shop front.
Internally the property is currently laid out as a former currency exchange shop with open plan retail/customer service to the front, with side and rear office, ancillary space, staff facilities, storage and a basic W/C compartment. A further doorway was noted to the rear of the property which provided access to exclusive external outside space.
