Commercial property to let
Property description
This shop is situated in a prominent position at the junction of Buccleuch Street and Abbey Street directly to the south of Melrose Abbey within Melrose town centre.
Melrose is an historic town with a population of 2,307 according to the 2011 population census. It is an attractive town located in the central borders, approximately 4.5 miles east of Galashiels. The settlement has a relatively affluent catchment and benefits from a significant level of seasonal tourist trade. It benefits from all local amenities and has a good range of independent shops and restaurants.
It is conveniently located for access to the other towns in the central borders with good connectivity to the national roads network via the A68 trunk road and the A7 arterial route. The southern terminus of the newly re-established borders railway linking the central border to Edinburgh is at Tweedbank station approximately 1.5 miles west.
A well-positioned ground floor retail unit with excellent window frontage to Abbey Street at the junction with Buccleuch Street.
The premises occupy the ground floor of a two storey Category C Listed Cottage believed to date to around 1875, which has been converted to provide a retail unit with traditional shop frontage to Abbey Street.
The unit is adjacent to the grounds of Melrose Abbey and will benefit from a good degree of footfall with visitors to the Abbey, Harmony House and Gardens and Priorwood Gardens. One of the principal Coach and car parks serving the town is opposite and the one-way system in Melrose also means there is a good level of visibility from passing traffic
The accommodation comprises:
Single fronted shop with glazed offset entrance door, retaining many original features including the bay window to the north elevation looking out to Melrose Abbey, rear door leading to Priorwood Gardens; communal kitchen; store room; communal rear hall with WC off.
