Interesting commercial premises in a prominent position within the centre of the market town of Harleston.

Unique and rare opportunity to acquire this Grade II listed building in a prominent position within this thriving market town of Harleston. The Corn Exchange was built in 1849 and provides 3,500 sq/ft of retail space. Currently vacant this building has most recently housed a variety of independent retail/craft exhibitors including antiques each paying rent for the space provided, making this a great investment opportunity. This vast space has been partitioned into individual shops creating a Victorian indoor market, however this could be adapted to one retail space if they are removed. There is a room offering a bar, toilet facilities, large commercial kitchen and a tea rooms area to the rear. There is a cellar and a converted attic with ensuite shower facilities. There is a access to the side of the building creating a small courtyard which provided outside seating for the former tea rooms. Providing many opportunities to include a possibility of residential use (STPP) or a superb opportunity for a restaurant or art gallery. A viewing to appreciate this splendid building is strongly recommended.
