The premises benefit from on-street parking and currently generate average weekly takings of £3,000“£3,500. Offered as a turnkey business with all fixtures and fittings included, the property also presents strong potential for redevelopment or conversion to a mixed-use property, SSTP. The ground floor includes a front retail area and a rear preparation room with stainless steel sinks, a wash basin, and gas water heater, leading to a small office and stairs to the lower ground floor. This lower level offers front and rear storage, a separate W.C., and a built-in freezer. Upstairs, the first floor comprises several rooms with period features, including fireplaces and alcove storage. A half landing provides a W.C. with electric water heater, and the attic room offers additional storage space. Externally, there is a private rear yard.
