Retail property (high street) for sale

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
A large and prominently located three storey property of brick elevations with a pitched tiled roof which was comprehensively refurbished in 2012 as part of the Burslem Improvement Grant Scheme. The characterful property has previously been used for both retail and office use, although lends itself to be converted into a HMO or similar with the potential for 5 rooms or 6 if the shop is also converted. Internally the property has gas central heating and single glazed timber windows. All rooms are carpeted and very little work is required internally. According to the council some sound installation, a fire alarm system and an additional landing on the top floor would be required for planning to be considered for a HMO. Please note, the ground floor salon is occupied until mid June when the lease
will come to an end.

Location - The property is located towards the top of Waterloo Road at the junction with Nile Street and opposite the George Hotel and Swan Square. Burslem is ideally located off the A500 within easy reach of junctions 15 and 16 of the M6 motorway.

Services - All main services are connected. No services have been tested by the agents.

Vat - The sale price and rent are not subject to VAT

Tenure - Available by way of a new Full Repairing and Insuring lease for a minimum of 3 years and with rent reviews every 3 years and with each party bearing their own legal costs associated with the lease. Alternatively the freehold is available, subject to contract and with vacant possession upon completion.
