The property has recently had a small kitchen added to the rear but this could be removed for the new tenant if no longer needed. Although previously used for retail purposes the property would suit a range of alternative uses, (subject to planning where necessary) to possibly include restaurant/café-bar or professional offices. The landlord would consider splitting the unit into two with a smaller unit having frontage to Hunters Row and a bigger unit with frontage onto Gaolgate Place.

The property forms part of a modern retail dominated development in the pedestrianised part of the town centre and is positioned on the junction with Gaolgate Place and Hunters Row opposite Home Bargains. This part of Stafford has undergone redevelopment and improvement thanks to the new gym and associated facilities at Hunters Row in the last year. The property has prominent frontage onto Gaolgate Square which is used as the pedestrian thoroughfare from both the Broad Street and Sheridan Centre car parks through to the main high street.
