Formerly occupied by established retailers Poundland and M&Co, this imposing building offers extensive, flexible accommodation spanning the entire depth of the building across ground and first floors. The premises benefit from dual frontage, rear access for servicing and a proposed new separate High Street entrance to the first floor level.
The property offers maximum flexibility: The dividing wall between the original two units can be removed to create expansive, wider floorplates, suiting a variety of occupational requirements. All areas of the property benefit from solid concrete floors with suspended ceilings fitted across the ground floor and much of the first floor.
The building provides impressive, versatile space suitable for a broad spectrum of uses falling under Use Class E and potentially other uses STPP (including retail, office, leisure, education, or medical/clinical sectors). The property is capable of being let as a whole or sub-divided into a variety of self-contained units across both levels. While the indicative floorplans, which are available to download, show unit sizes ranging from 315 sq.m. (3,391 sq.ft.) the ultimate configuration and use of the space is yet to be determined. As such, if you have space requirements from 93 sq.m. (1,000 sq.ft.) please call us to discuss.
The property is set to be further enhanced by the impending development of 24 new one and two bedroom residential units, many of which will have external terraces and private entrances.
