Originally constructed as a terrace of four properties, the premises has been the home of Goodwins Jewellers for over a century. All four properties are now merged into one premises which comprises a sales area, together with office, storage and workshop accommodation on ground and first floor. To the rear is an enclosed yard area offering expansion potential or private amenity space. The properties were originally constructed in the Victorian era of traditional brick elevations supporting pitched tiled roof surfaces and now offer the opportunity to be used for a range of commercial uses with the potential to convert the first floor into residential accommodation, subject to planning.
