The premises comprise an attractive mid terrace building which has been most recently used as a café with accommodation over four levels.
The ground floor includes a front sales area, kitchen, preparation area and a disabled WC. To the rear is an external storage area as well as yard space for loading and bin stores. A staircase located midway into the sales area provides access to the first and second floor levels. The first floor includes a front seating and rear seating area, and male and female customer toilets. The second floor includes two further rooms used for office space and storage and an owner’s WC.
