The subject premises occupy an outstanding and highly visible corner trading position among numerous other complementary independent operators in the busy heart of the ancient and vibrant riverside town of Gravesend, which lies with excellent access to major road and motorway links (A226, A227, A2, M2 junction 1, M20 and M25 junction 2 etc.) and approximately 21 miles from Charing Cross, opposite Tilbury in the Thames Estuary area of Kent.

We are delighted to present this outstanding opportunity to acquire a thriving commercial proposition of uncommon quality and real further potential, which we are confident you will agree represents genuine value.

This very well established and highly regarded gallery workshop is currently primarily equipped to high industry specifications to undertake a virtually “one stop” range of bespoke professional mounting and framing solutions for all manner of applications including artworks, prints, photographs, medals and memorabilia etc.

“Phoenix Framing” also conducts a highly complementary sales operation of an extensive selection of market leading DIY framing supplies and materials and would naturally furnish any enthusiastic purchaser with ample scope for continued growth, not least with regard to possible investment in additional staff and to the possible introduction of Sunday trading in order to exploit the full potential sales and technical capacity of its facilities.

The business would also benefit greatly by adopting a far more vigorous marketing policy of its excellent existing products and services, particularly with reference to the possible introduction of online advertising and to further development of its social media presence, in order to improve upon the already high levels of turnover it has achieved since being established in its present form some twenty successful years ago by the current proprietor, with the aid of just one part-time assistant, and we would strongly recommend the earliest possible viewing to avoid disappointment.

These substantial and extremely well fitted TWO-STOREY leasehold corner parade premises provide outstanding and highly functional internal business accommodation which, to the GROUND FLOOR, briefly comprises an inviting and glazed, double-fronted public entrance directly off New Road into the main, bright, welcoming and deceptively spacious, open-plan gallery showroom and workshop area with diffused fluorescent lighting throughout, which houses a full range of high quality, fixed and freestanding, purpose-built displays for a wide selection of market-leading framing supplies and materials.

The main public area also features a prominent, fully fitted service counter with telephone, full complement of payment facilities and open access to a fully fitted and extensively equipped bespoke framing workshop area with worktable and full complement of specialist tools and equipment, all of which we understand is to be included in the sale price and further details of which will be available upon request to any genuine interested parties.

Further ancillary accommodation to the ground floor consists of access to all the usual washroom/WC facilities and descending staircase access down to a large, full-height BASEMENT LEVEL suitable for storage purposes.
