The premises comprise the whole of a substantial Grade B Listed building constructed in the 1930’s with stone facings and a copper clad concrete dome.
Internally the ground floor comprises a former banking hall / betting office, now stripped of fittings, with ornate panelling and a mosaic floor. Toilets and staff accommodation are provided to the rear. The basement is currently disused and stripped to shell, but formerly housed the strongroom, toilets, and boilerhouse.
The upper floors are accessed by an entrance on Fore Street, and comprise good cellular office and ancillary accommodation at first floor level, plus rough storage in the attic.
The two sections of the building inter-communicate via a fire door, and it is considered that reinstatement of the space for a single user would be relatively easily accomplished.
