The subject property occupies a highly visible trading position ideal for any number of potentially lucrative retail or allied uses on the busy main central commercial Main Street of the vibrant and strategically-located satellite market town of Bulwell, which lies with excellent access both to major road and motorway links (A610, A611, A6002 and M1 junction 26 etc.) and to the nearby centres of Hucknall (approximately 3 miles) and the city of Nottingham (approximately 4.5 miles) in the East Midlands.

This charming and adaptable Grade II listed two-storey freehold property has operated as a major local supplier of a wide selection of market-leading products for the home DIY enthusiast and tradesman alike in the course of very many years' successful trading in the hands of the current proprietor, but is now made available to furnish a host of business options for any new owner which are really only limited by the imagination and, of course, by any applicable planning restrictions.

Available with immediate vacant possession if required, this would naturally present an outstanding opportunity for anyone seeking the ideal premises in which to embark upon any number of potentially lucrative retail or allied commercial ventures requiring that super combination of adaptable accommodation arranged over ground and first-floor levels, coupled with a commercially highly desirable location which promises real quality of life.

Alternatively, this versatile proposition would most certainly appeal to someone simply looking to significantly increase their existing investment portfolio by the acquisition of a substantial and superbly located additional freehold property which would be eminently capable of achieving a very healthy return on initial capital investment, particularly following possible commercial and/or residential development subject, of course, to the obtaining of any necessary consents.

The property has been in the hands of the current proprietor and his family since 1955 and we would strongly recommend the earliest possible viewing to avoid disappointment.

These charming, well maintained and versatile TWO STOREY Grade II listed freehold premises currently provide highly functional internal business accommodation which, to the GROUND FLOOR, currently comprises an inviting and part-glazed, double-fronted entrance directly off Main Street (B682) into the main retail sales and customer service area (extending to approximately 48 square yards) with diffused fluorescent strip lighting, durable solid tiled flooring throughout for easy cleaning and full complement of fixed and freestanding racking and shelving for an extensive range of market-leading products.

Adaptable to any number of other, potentially lucrative alternative retail or allied commercial ventures (subject, of course, to the obtaining of any necessary consents) the main public area also features a fully fitted customer service counter with additional product displays, till point, credit card payment facilities and open access to a fully equipped key cutting workshop area housing 1 x fully automated ("Yale") key cutting machine and 1 x bespoke manual key cutting machine, all of which we understand is to be included in the sale price, and further details of which will be made available upon request to any genuine interested parties.

The main retail area also affords easy open access to a good-sized and fully racked storeroom with wooden storage units for fixings etc., a large 600-gallon capacity paraffin tank (currently unused) and a small private and general administration office area with telephone, gas fire and an industry-standard, floor-anchored safe, with further ancillary accommodation to the ground floor consisting of a small shop kitchen area with fitted sink unit, together with all the usual washroom/WC facilities.

Accessed by means of a staircase from ground-floor level, to the FIRST FLOOR the property offers further ancillary accommodation which we understand would afford excellent potential for business expansion purposes, or conversion to private living accommodation (again, subject to the obtaining of any necessary consents) which currently consists of 3 x large and fully racked interconnecting storage areas.

The property also enjoys the benefit of double glazing and a full mains electricity power supply, in addition to the added safety and security benefits of a "Yale" intruder alarm system and emergency fire escape access to the rear.
