Plymouth is the largest city in Devon and Cornwall and has one of the largest retail centres in the South West, with a residential population of approximately 250,000 inhabitants. It is situated on the border with Cornwall in the picturesque
county of Devon and is easily accessible, with the main A30 running through the heart of the city west into Cornwall over the Tamar Bridge and east to the M5 motorway into Exeter, Bristol and beyond.
The City offers a range of retail, business and leisure amenities, together with the principal source of employment, namely Devonport Dockyard. The City forms part of the national rail network being located on the Penzance to Paddington main line and has ferry links to European destinations.
The property is located in the heart of Plymouth City Centre, occupying a prominent position in the middle of New George Street. This busy location houses retailers including the likes of Poundland, Superdrug, Brighthouse, McDonalds, Burger King, Vodafone, WH Smith,
along with many other national and regional operators.
We understand that the property is connected to mains electricity, drainage and water but have not carried out any tests in this regard.
We did not note any gas appliances within the building but assume that gas is available within the street close by.
Heating on the second floor is provided by way of individual oil fired radiators and night storage heaters.
There is air conditioning on the first floor.
The property is held on a long lease from Plymouth City Council.
This is common place for the city centre with the majority of the stock being held on this basis.

The position with respect to the upper parts is unusual in that there is a long ground lease in place with approximately 31 years to the reversion.
