The subjects form the ground floor of a two-storey steel framed building consisting of retail and leisure units on the ground floor and office suites at first floor level.
Internally, the premises are currently fitted out for a dance studio with a number of large partitioned rooms. On the east side of the unit there is an office, kitchen, store room and WC facilities. The large glazed screens to the front ensure there is plenty of natural light provided to the rooms facing the car park.
