The shop comprises the whole of a Grade II listed building of brick elevations under a pitched tiled roof. The space is arranged over three floors with the ground floor and first floor suitable for retail and the remainder as storage. The shop benefits from a full height glazed return frontage to capitalise on the significant footfall past the door along Claremont Street and Mardol.

The signage fascia was refurbished in 2025 and presents well onto the street.  The Landlord intends to refurbish the unit to a ‘white box’ standard via dilapidations and the asking rent assumes this.
