Description
NOW LET
I am acting for the owner’s of the above property, which some years ago we let to a regional charity for use as a coffee shop/restaurant, art gallery with ancillary first floor offices etc. The building is now vacant and available to let as a whole or in parts on a new Lease.
The property, as you may be aware, is located to the West of Sheffield city centre in the popular suburb of Broomhill, which has a very strong student representation, both from Sheffield and Sheffield Hallam Universities. In addition, there are 3 major hospitals nearby and countless private and state schools in the immediate vicinity. A location is attached showing the property by red colour.
To those of you who know Sheffield, Broomhill needs no introduction - pubs, takeaways, coffee shops etc. abound in addition to the more traditional retail offer in the nearby Broomhill Shopping centre where Boots, Coopland’s, Martin’s, Somerfield and others good retailers are represented.
During the period of occupancy by the charity, the Planning Consent was changed to use of the ground floor as a part café/restaurant, art gallery/retail with first floor offices and storage. Opening hours for the café/gallery are currently restricted on amenity grounds to Sunday – Tuesday 8.30 am to 9.30pm – Wednesday – Saturday 8.30 am to 11.00 p.m. These hours can be widened simply with the approval in writing of the Local Authority, which is regarded as a reasonably simple formality.
On the ground floor, the coffee shop/restaurant area provides 1,520 sq.ft. of fully fitted space, the former art gallery and ancillary retail a further 2,262 sq.ft. so total ground floor area is 3,705 sq.ft. The first floor is configured as 2 offices providing 1, 813 sq.ft. – Total in the 1 building 5,595 sq.ft. or 519.79 sq.metres.
Given the A3 Planning over part, the largish open plan nature of the ground floor areas, I believe the premises might be suitable/converted for use, subject to planning for use as:
- A fantastic themed sit down restaurant e.g. Pizza, Indian, Noodle Bar etc. with takeaway possibilities, subject to planning
- A large retail, unit with upper floor offices
- Continued use as an art gallery/retail or design offices/studio use
The premises are now available with vacant possession on a new Lease, the length of which is negotiable, subject to planning and licencing, if required.
My client may also assist directly or indirectly via a rent free period in re-furbishing the property subject to the occupiers intended use, proposed lease term and covenant strength offered.
Interested, then let me know – I can supply floor plans, copy planning documentation etc. to qualified interested parties.
I believe the property represents a superb opportunity for a specialist retailer to get established in a popular and populous established suburb of the city.
I look forward to hearing from you should you wish to view the property.
Yours sincerely,
