The accommodation comprises a single fronted lock up shop with ground floor sales area and a raised sales area across the back of the shop. The accommodation is currently trading as a clothing shop with changing rooms located at the rear of the sales area. At the back of the shop there is a single cloakroom and rear office / stores.
