Opportunity
The property has enjoyed a variety of uses in the past as a café, offices and residential accommodation, though is likely to require alterations and refurbishment depending on use. The Council would consider offering some external space as part of the lease if that is of interest to an incoming tenant. The property may suit a start-up business looking for affordable premises and its park location could lend itself to the sale of hot and cold refreshments for external consumption, with 'live-in' accommodation for the business owner. All uses will be considered, subject to planning.
