**Location**
Chippenham is a busy and expanding town with a population of approximately
40, 000 people. It is located approximately 4 miles south of Junction 17 of the
M4 Motorway and benefits from a main line railway station with a regular
direct service to London Paddington in just over 1 hour.
The Market Place is a historic area of the town with mainly local independent
traders. The property fronts the Market Place, with rear access from Lord’s
Lane. There is short term on - street parking immediately in front of the shop.
**Description**
The property is a mid - terrace Grade II Listed building with a retail unit on
the ground floor and separately accessed upper parts extending over the first
and second floors.
The ground floor of the property had a long established use as a café.
The whole property offers an excellent opportunity for significant
refurbishment throughout.
From the Market Place, a slightly recessed doorway opens into the ground floor
space that has long been used as a café.
To the rear of the ground floor is a step up to the former kitchen area.
A door leads out to a rear courtyard that also has a gated access from Lord’s
Lane.
There is a toilet off the courtyard.
An external wooden staircase leads up to a upvc door that opens into the first
floor.
There is a large potential living room; kitchen area; bathroom / WC and double
bedroom with fitted cupboards overlooking the Market. All the first floor
space is in a poor decorative condition and in need of refurbishment.
A further narrow and bending staircase leads up to a second floor room.
The property is in poor decorative order throughout and in need of a scheme of
significant refurbishment.
