The premises form part of an attractive Grade II listed building of three-storey brick and tile construction providing retail accommodation on the ground floor together with extensive space at first and second floor levels to be retained by the landlord and converted to produce two two-bedroomed flats with a new shop front to be installed to accommodate a separate entrance from Greengate Street.
The availability of the premises offers an ideal opportunity for a retailer to acquire a main street presence along a part of the town’s main shopping thoroughfare that has seen little tenant turnover in recent years and has been boosted as a trading pitch as a consequence of the new recently opened Riverside retail scheme close by.
