Accommodation

The ground floor shop premises is one large open plan space with lots of room for trading, display areas and serving desk. A small WC lies to the rear and a connecting internal door (although not currently used) to the townhouse above.

The two storey property above has traditionally been a residential family home, however in more recent years the classification of the property has been changed to ‘office premises’ to suit the needs of the current tenants. It is thought that change of use back to residential should be fairly straight forward.
