CHELTENHAM                              Prime Retail Unit Let on a Long Lease with
GL50 1DF                              Excellent Long Term Development Potential

                      REDEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL
                      An incoming purchaser would benefit from
                      a secure lease to Pret A Manger with a longer
                      term development opportunity in the heart
                      of Cheltenham.
                      We are of the opinion the property offers potential
                      to redevelop the upper parts to residential
                      accommodation subject to vacant possession and
                      the necessary consents.
                      Residential values in the area are particularly strong
                      achieving in the region of between £325-£350 psf
                      capital value.
                      Taking into account the height of the adjacent
                      property, it sets a precedent for the potential to
                      add additional storeys.
                      Buskers Court, adjoining the property has recently
                      been converted to residential accommodation
                      with a private entrance from the High Street and
                      from Albion Street to the rear. A two bedroom
                      flat in Buskers Court is currently on the market for
                      £215,000 for 652 sq ft reflecting £330 psf.
