Description

16 Station Hill is a former meeting hall with its own on site parking. The single storey, brick built building fronts Station Hill, with steps and a ramp leading up to the front door.

Further doors then lead into the main room that has a wooden floor covering, full suspended ceiling with integral LED lighting, central heating radiators, upvc double glazed windows and dado trunking with electric sockets. In its previous use as a meeting hall, this room had capacity to seat 80 guests in cinema mode or 60 in banqueting format.
