The subject property comprises a detached building of traditional stone construction under pitched / hipped roofs with a slate covering dating back to circa 1865. There has been extensions to the property in recent years to the rear and front side elevations which have flat felt roof coverings. The ground floor accommodates a reasonably well sized retail unit with ancillary storage and WC facilities with the upper floor housing a residential flat with the benefit of a self-contained entrance accessible via the forecourt to the rear.
The overall plot equates to approximately 0.10 acres providing land to the rear to develop further and create a larger floor plate depending upon occupier requirements and obtaining the necessary planning permission. The rear elevation also provides direct access to the main car park at Seahouses which increases the footfall levels in this locality substantially and can act as a delivery access servicing the retail unit.
The property is available by way of an Effective Full Repairing and Insuring Lease for a term of years to be agreed at an asking rent of £17,500 per annum exclusive of VAT, subject to contract.
