Tenants are now being sought for a historic Colwyn Bay property on Abergele Road which has recently been renovated to a very high standard by the council.
The grade II listed building designed by renowned local architect Sidney Colwyn Foulkes was formerly a 'Bargain Centre' style shop and had fallen into a bad state of repair. Following a massive investment and a contribution from the National Lottery, 7 Abergele Road is now looking for a tenant to take on the property.
Also known as The Longmans Building, the building is located on the main road through Colwyn Bay just off Station Road, home to the Colwyn Bay's Artisan and weekly market.
7 Abergele Road is directly opposite Spar, Subway, KFC and close to a number of banks, cafes, shops and professional services and just a short walk from the Conwy County Borough Council main office located on Coed Pella Road.
Boasting a prominent trading position with good visibility from all passing, foot and vehicular traffic the property is within close proximity to Colwyn Bay train station, on the main bus route through the town with public car parking to the rear on Ivy Street.
The building was originally believed to have been built as a bookshop for the Longman publishing / booksellers company in the early 1930s. It has recently been extensively refurbished both inside and out and proudly boasts many of its original architectural features such as port hole style windows, domed glass sky lights and art deco features.
The Council are seeking applications to lease the building for a minimum of 5 year FRI lease. The tenant will be responsible for all repairs, maintenance, insurances and all other outgoings attributable to the building. The Council is open to offers with regards to the rent.
Application forms and further relevant information is available upon request. Please contact Lydia Johnson on 01492 4870038.
