The subject property may once have formed part of the Red Lion Public House (adjacent) but is now arranged to provide an imposing and reasonably substantial, mixed-use property configured over 3 x floors arranged in 3 x bays now comprising 2 x Retail units and 3 x first floor apartments with its own separate access from street level. We would estimate that the property historically dates from the 16th/17th Centuries with early 19th century re-fronting and re-modelling. Historically the property was and in part, is still timber-framing inside rendered cladding. The roof is pitched being plain clay tiled behind a parapet with stone coping.
Internally the ground floor is arranged to provide 2 x shop units No 120 occupied by Cornmeter and No 122 by The Lime Tree Beauty Clinic (Jo Downs). Both Units are presented in reasonable order. with elements of timber frame exposed but in other respects are fairly typical of Secondary/Tertiary Retail units in the Town with, to some degree, compromised space given the age and original design and use of the property. No 120 extends to some 500 sq ft approx. whilst No 122 extends to some 700 sq ft approx. Both units also benefit from kitchen and WC facilities and a prominent High Street frontage.
The 3 x first floor apartments are accessed via a separate street level entrance and comprise reasonably well appointed 1- and 2-bedroom apartments that provide reasonably well-presented accommodation with some exposed timber framing, all of the apartments are presented in reasonable order with carpeted floors, plastered and painted walls and reasonable natural light. The property also benefits from Gas-fired central heating via wall mounted radiators served by wall mounted gas-fired boilers whilst an entryphone system as well as Fire alarm system has also been installed.
Overall, the accommodation provides rudimentary living space save the fact there is no external space apart from a small yard which is demised to the Commercial occupiers.
