Description
The subjects comprise a ground and first floor building situated on a prominent corner
position. The building is of traditional granite construction with a pitched slated roof. The
unit benefits from extensive frontages to both Thistle Street and Chapel Street, with
separate accesses from either elevation.
Accommodation
Internally on ground floor, the subjects are interconnected with the most recent use being
as a financial services and property shop, however, there would be scope for a range of
retail and professional service users. The first floor can be accessed from two different
areas, one being from a separate external entrance on Chapel Street and another from
an internal stairwell to the rear of the property. The first floor is currently presented as
cellular office accommodation and also features a tea prep. There are W.C facilities
located on both levels of the building.
Please note that the premises are currently adjoined on ground floor level, however,
there is scope for sub-division to create two or three retail units all with their own
frontage.
In addition, the first floor benefits from an independent access from Chapel Street and
can be self-contained.
Location
The premises occupy a prominent location on the corner of Chapel Street and Thistle
Street. This location is in close proximity to the south section of Union Street and
therefore benefits from all city centre amenities whilst benefitting from easy access to the
local and national road networks and public transport system. This part of the city centre
is very close to the West End of the city with strong footfall from office-based occupiers
utilising city centre amenities. Surrounding occupiers are a mixture of residential and
retail users, predominantly local in nature. Some of these include Cool & Calm Studio,
West End Chocolates and Almondine. The Chapel Street multi-storey car park is also
located 150 yards away.
