Business Location:
The premises are located in a unique town centre location within a listed Edwardian building of great charm and historic interest. Close to attractive parks and gardens offering outdoor portraiture opportunities only minutes away.
Premise Details:
A major retail store is directly opposite and the street is one of the most attractive in the area being occupied by a variety of high class businesses including solicitors, accountants, designer clothes shops, wine bars and restaurants. Passing trade is good due to the three main bus stops that occupy some of the street. Nearby parking is plentiful.
The studio interior has a feeling of tradition and warmth about the place, whilst allowing the modern creativity required to provide 'high tech' projected backgrounds which are ideal for portrait photography, being changeable in seconds, and also gives the show business and model portfolios that extra star quality!!
The vendor owns the freehold of the property and if required he proposes to make them available for rent, to be negotiated prior to the sale of the business
Competition:
The business has used limited advertising in the past and there are excellent opportunities to increase this and market the business more aggressively.

The studio has a website which is successful and has performed well with tangible business being forthcoming.
