Description
The property comprises a ground and lower ground floor commercial unit which has been stripped to shell form to provide a blank canvas. Internally, the space is largely open plan with excellent natural light from windows on all sides of the unit which extends to a total of 860 Sq.M (9,250 Sq.Ft). In particular, the unit has excellent views over the canal basin to the rear. The property has formerly been used a bar/leisure unit, with more recent planning for a 31 bedroom boutique hotel (planning ref 128769/FO/2020). The unit would suit a variety of other uses e.g. retail, office, restaurant etc subject to obtaining any necessary consents. We understand that a material start has been made on site therefore the planning is still live. Interested parties should make their own enquiries with the local authority to confirm that this info is correct.
