- Fire exits on every level to ensure safety,
- A total of 15 toilets distributed throughout the premises,
- Adaptable floor plates allowing for future reconfiguration or redevelopment (subject to planning),

Current tenancy arrangements reveal robust income opportunities:
- The ground floor is leased at £35,000 per annum with five WCs,
- The first floor generates £20,000 per annum with four WCs and one year remaining on its lease,
- The second floor also garners £15,000 annually, featuring another four WCs,
- While the third floor is currently unoccupied, it holds significant potential value estimated between £10,000 and £12,000 annually due to its new commercial use approval.
This sets the total potential annual income at approximately £82,000.
Additionally, there are possibilities for further development (subject to planning) including:
