Central Stores, Bridge Street, Bures, Suffolk, CO8

The Central Stores was built in the late Victorian period as a shop and has remained so ever since. It is substantially constructed of traditional Suffolk White brick under a slate roof and it retains the original shop front with distinctive curved glass on the corner. The building is arranged over two floors with a wide staircase leading up to the first floor which is a large open plan area with original double hung sash windows to both the front and side elevations.

The former owner carried out a major refurbishment several years ago which included the complete replacement of the ground floor structure, rewiring, re-plumbing, and the installation of gas fired central heating. The rewiring includes the provision of both floor and wall mounted power points and provision for window and internal displays. A new kitchenette was also provided together with separate ladies and gents cloakrooms. There is rear pedestrian access by means of a right of way leading out onto Bridge Street, but this is restricted to refuse removal.

The building would lend itself to a wide variety of uses within class E, due to its open plan layout and prominent position.
