The subject premises occupy a highly visible corner position among other independent operators in the good and well populated Waterloo quarter of the vibrant seaside town of Crosby, which lies with excellent access both to major road links (A565, A5036, M57 junction 7 & M58 junction 1 etc.) and to the nearby centres of Bootle and Liverpool in the Metropolitan Borough of Sefton on the Merseyside coast.

Operating from extremely well fitted and presented corner-sited parade premises, this very long established and highly regarded member of The British Barbers Association currently specialises in the provision of a virtually 'one stop' range of creative and professional, classic and contemporary wet and dry hair design and styling services exclusively for gentlemen of all ages, with a popular and efficient online booking system in operation.

Boasting numerous "Five Star" online reviews, the salon additionally offers luxury hot towel shaves, beard sculpting and moustache trimming services for a very long-standing and still-expanding regular client base, with a significant volume of year-round 'walk in' custom generated by its prime suburban main road trading position.

"Waterloo Barber Shop" currently also generates a useful supplementary income stream by sub-letting the property's adjoining and self-contained takeaway catering unit and operates from premises of a size which would naturally furnish any enthusiastic purchaser with ample scope for continued growth, not least with regard to possible expansion into other areas of the highly diverse hair and beauty services and retail market, and to possible investment in additional employed or self-employed staff in order to exploit the full potential capacity of its facilities.

The business would also benefit by adopting a more vigorous marketing policy of its excellent existing services, both through its own informative dedicated website, and to further development of its social media presence, in order to improve upon the already impressive levels of turnover it has achieved since being established in its present form in 1991 by the current 'hands on' proprietor, with the aid of a small, experienced and motivated team of one full-time and two part-time, award-winning and Covid-19 trained staff who would be an asset to any purchaser, and we would unreservedly recommend a viewing.

Fitted and presented to high industry specifications throughout, these substantial and well maintained corner-sited parade premises provide excellent and highly functional internal business accommodation with Wi-Fi internet access, which briefly comprises an inviting, and recessed, single-fronted public entrance directly off St Johns Road into a welcoming reception area with comfortable upholstered lounge seating for waiting customers.

Boasting feature black-and-white chequered commercial flooring for easy cleaning and combined diffused fluorescent lighting and inset spotlighting throughout, the reception area, in turn, opens onto the main, bright and deceptively spacious gentlemen's barber shop with wall-mounted TV screen, which currently comfortably accommodates a total of 7 x fully equipped mirrored styling stations with dryers and 1 x front wash station with built-in under sink linen storage, together with a small payment area with additional storage, cash till and credit card payment facilities.

Further ancillary internal accommodation consists of all the usual washroom/WC facilities, together with an inner hallway employed as a staff area with basic kitchen facilities for the provision of light refreshments and access to fully equipped private "back office" area.

The premises also enjoy the added security benefit of steel roller shutters to the shop front.

**Accessed by means of its own public entrance off the adjacent Ferndale Road, it should be noted that the premises also incorporate a fully self-contained adjoining food catering unit which we understand is currently sub-let to an independent operator as a "Pie & Mash" takeaway business to produce a useful supplementary rental income of £65 per week, further details of which will be made available upon request to any genuine interested parties.
