Location
The shop is located on the main High Street close to its junction with Causey Street. Gosforth is an extremely sought-after residential suburb of Newcastle approximately 2 miles due north of the City centre with good schools, public transport links and local amenities.
The location of the premises generates very high levels of both captive and passing trade and there is also a pay and display car park almost directly opposite the unit.
Other High Street occupiers include Lloyds Bank, Sainsbury’s and Caffe Nero together with popular independent coffee shops, bars and restaurants.
The unit would be suitable for a broad variety of uses, subject to any required consents.
