Description
The property comprises a substantial size mid terraced retail premises, measuring approximately 539.74 sq.m (5,809.76 sq. Ft.) in total, which is situated along a prominent main road position, fronting The Kingsway within Swansea city centre.
Internally, we note that the subject premises accommodates a double fronted ground floor retail unit, which can be accessed directly off the main pedestrian walkway to the front via a standard sales display window entrance, with a gross frontage of approximately 11.88m in total. The main sales area, which is generally of an open plan layout is also supported by ancillary accommodation to the rear, comprising a small stockroom, customer changing facilities and an additional internal stairwell, providing access over each floor.
The main sales area also accommodates an additional internal stairwell, which leads onto the ancillary sales area at first floor level. The majority of the first floor area, more noticeable over the front section of the building, also benefits from an open plan layout similar to the ground floor. The ancillary sales area to the front is also supported by an additional coffee shop located directly to the rear, including customer w.c. Facilities.
An additional basement area also forms part of the subject premises, which can be accessed off the internal stairwell to the rear of the building. The basement accommodation is currently occupied for use as ancillary offices, which is also supported by ladies and gents w.c. Facilities, a staff kitchen and various store rooms.
The remaining accommodation arranged over the second floor comprises ancillary accommodation, previously occupied for use as storage. A separate utility area and toilet is also located over this floor, just off the main internal stairwell to the rear of the building.
The subject premises is located within a site area of approximately 0.057 acre (0.023 hectare), which has the potential for a high rise mixed use development (subject to the necessary statutory consents).
Location
The property occupies a prominent position, fronting The Kingsway in Swansea City Centre.
Swansea City Centre and furthermore the immediate vicinity is currently undergoing a programme of regeneration, with Swansea Council currently in the process of creating a new hi-tec office development in the former Oceania Nightclub site, along 71 & 72 The Kingsway (approximately 50 metres away).
The scheme will feature flexible core working and office opportunities for innovative tech, digital and creative sector business. The former Barclays Bank premises at 69 & 70 The Kingsway will also be transformed into new style flexible works space.
We also note that a number of the adjoining units are available for sale and it is likely that this could hold some additional value if a suitable developer was to acquire the majority of this block.
