Description
The property comprises two parades of shops that abut one another. Centurion House which fronts onto St John's Street consists of a parade of seven shops on the ground floor and 4 x apartments on the third floor. The third floor is separately accessed via a lift and stairs from St John's Street. Due to the design of the building the first floor is predominantly an empty void which provides long term development potential. Mercantile House comprises five shop units, four of which have ancillary first floor accommodation. There is a business centre on part of the first floor which is split up into three office suites.
