GENERAL DESCRIPTION

open plan ground floor sales area together with ancillary
offices, welfare and storage accommodation at first floor
with a rear goods entrance with roller shutter access.
Thought to have originally constructed as a Woolworths store

extensive glazed frontages and flat roof coverings. There is a
goods lift towards the rear of the sales area which provides
direct access to the storage area above. There are two
entrances to the ground floor sales area making the splitting of
the building a relatively straight forward exercise to
accommodate smaller requirements.

an extensive frontage to Market Street of approx. 80 feet and a
return frontage of approx. 180 feet to part of the
