The ground floor, which has been subdivided to comprise two separate retail units, accommodates the main sales area to the front, both of which are occupied for use as independent restaurants/ hot food takeaway outlets. The main sales areas are also supported by ancillary accommodation to the rear, comprising separate commercial kitchens, various store areas and shared ladies/ gents w.c. Facilities.
A small basement store can also be accessed off the retail unit to the left, to the rear of the main sales area via an internal stairwell. A much larger basement is also available over the retail unit to the right, which can be accessed via a trap door from the main sales area. However, we have not been able to inspect this area of the building due to its restricted access.
Based on the current arrangement of the ground floor accommodation, it would appear that this floor area was previously occupied in its entirety as a single retail unit, which has since been altered and subdivided to comprise its existing layout.
We also note that each ground floor retail unit appears to have been let and held on separate occupational leasehold agreements, producing a total rent passing of £23,520 per annum.
The remaining accommodation, arranged over the upper floors was previously occupied for use as a massage parlour/ health studio (D2 Use Class), comprising a number of individual rooms, which can be accessed off the internal corridor. The main floor can be accessed independently off a separate entrance foyer and stairwell to the front, while the second floor can be accessed internally off the first floor corridor. Given the size of the accommodation arranged over the upper floors, this section of the building also has the potential to be converted to a variety of alternative uses, such as various self-contained residential units (subject to planning).
Externally, we note that the subject premises accommodates the majority of the site, with the exception of a small enclosed courtyard to the rear of the retail unit to the left. Although we note that no designated parking facilities are available on site, the subject premises appears to be well located, within close proximity to adequate on street parking, which includes a number of resident only and time restricted parking bays.
