Retail property (high street) for sale

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
A substantial building having recently been completely
overhauled and modernised to create exceptionally
well presented and cleverly configured
accommodation. The building now comprises an open
plan retail unit with extensive window frontage with electric
roller shutters onto Hightown together with a first floor
board room. There is also a very spacious and immaculately
presented three bedroom flat arranged over first and second
floor. The building comprises three separate entities:
Retail unit - a 1,252 sq ft unit including sales area, office,
kitchen and bathroom. At the side of the building is a
covered storage area with electric roller shutter and access
for 2-3 vehicles. At the rear is a warehouse/stockroom over
two floors and covering 877 sq ft.

Boardroom - a total of 485 sq ft comprising a large
boardroom with dual aspect windows, kitchen, bathroom
with shower and store cupboard. This section has its own
meters for utilities and could very easily be converted into a
one bedroom apartment as the kitchen and bathroom are
already in place together with separate access.

Three bedroom apartment - a 'as new' 1,218 sq ft three
bedroom, three bathroom apartment with large kitchen,
lounge and sunroom. This section of the property has
separate access via an enclosed rear courtyard and would
make an ideal corporate let or Airbnb property to be run as
a business. The kitchen comes with granite worktops and
integrated appliances and the apartment also features a 233
sq ft lounge, utility room and 2nd floor master bedroom with
large ensuite and storage areas. The apartment has never
been lived in or used and is also separately metered.
This property as a whole offers an excellent business
opportunity with multiple letting possibilities or the chance
to run a number of businesses from the location. It is rare a
property of this standard becomes available.

in Crewe, a 2 minute walk into the centre and a 30 second
