Prime Retail Shop in Torquay Town Centre To Let. Available by Assignment of Expiring April 2028.
The premises occupy a highly prominent
trading position on Union Street, Torquay’s principal town centre retail pitch.
The property is positioned at the pedestrianised southern end of Union Street, close to Fleet Street, Fleet Walk and Torquay’s harbourside, benefiting from
regular pedestrian footfall and strong visibility.
The unit sits within Torquay’s
established retail core, with nearby occupiers including national and regional
retailers, food and beverage operators, phone retailers, fashion retailers and
service-led businesses, including Superdrug, Primark, O2, Vodafone and
Costa.
The property comprises a prominent
retail unit arranged over ground and first floors. The ground floor provides a
good-sized sales area with glazed shop frontage onto Union Street, together
with rear ancillary accommodation which is currently separated from the retail
by light partition.
Internally, the property has most
recently been fitted out for retail use, with tiled flooring to the principal
retail area, feature teal wall finishes, display framework, lighting, reception/counter area, changing room and ancillary storage/workshop space to
the rear. There are further first floor rooms providing office accommodation, storage, staff kitchen and WC facilities. The premises would lend themselves
well to a variety of town centre uses, subject to any necessary consents.

assignment of the existing lease, providing an opportunity for an occupier to

new lease term.
