Description
The building sits adjacent to the Bridgegate Centre development which took place in the early 1990’s which comprises thirteen retail units with offices over first and second floors. Adjacent to the property is a car park which is utilised in part by the Bridgegate Centre and also provides car parking for Sports Direct and My Gym, both of which are relatively recent additions to the area and have increased footfall and the profile of the area significantly.
This is a rare freehold opportunity along Bridgegate and offers a number of development and potential alternative uses subject to planning permission.
This is a typical edge of town centre location with surrounding users comprising in the main smaller sole trader type operators excluding of course the aforementioned My Gym and Sports Direct. Retford itself is a market town which still retains its markets on Thursday, Friday and Saturdays with a monthly farmers market. The town is a central point for many of the smaller towns and villages and as such the town has attracted and maintained a good number of national occupiers and retailers. Retford is well placed for taking advantage of the surrounding centres of Sheffield, Doncaster, Lincoln, Worksop and Nottingham. The A1 trunk road and motorway networks are close by and the town benefits from the mainline railway Station, which has an excellent rail service to London Kings Cross [1 hour and 40 minutes]. The town has a population of around 21,000 persons with a catchment population of approximately 45,000.
The building comprises the original Swannacks Furnishing building which over the years has been extended to create a large ground floor retail unit along with further retail showrooms over the first and second floors. The ground floor has one access point from the adjacent car park and further benefits from rear loading doors. There is a centrally positioned staircase providing access to the upper floors and a good degree of natural light with windows onto both Bridgegate and the car park. The first floor provides essentially showroom areas with ancillary accommodation comprising WC and Kitchen. The second floor provides further showroom accommodation along with a WC and store rooms. The original part of the building is three strorey and constructed in solid brick elevations beneath a slate roof, with a later rear three storey extension with a tiled roof. The main extension to the rear is two storey in height, cavity wall built and sits beneath a flat roof.

Planning The building has been used for the sale of furniture for
over a 100 years and until 1950 incorpated living accommodation, before being converted to provide retail space. As such the building is likely to have an A1 (retail) planning consent.
