This exceptional property boasts a beautiful traditional shopfront, complete with a painted timber fascia and original display window.

Square-headed window openings feature replacement PVC windows within original painted moulded surrounds, adding a modern touch while respecting the building's heritage.  This building has a preservation order to be adhered to further details from selling agents.
