Location
Chichester, located approximately 66 miles south west of London, is an attractive cathedral city and is the county town of West Sussex. The city is situated close to the A27 dual carriageway and lies approximately 15 miles to the east of Portsmouth and 30 miles west of Brighton. The railway station provides direct access to London Victoria (93 mins).
Fernleigh occupies a prominent city centre position on one of the city's four main retailing streets and also benefits from easy vehicular access to the A268 inner ring road and the A27. It is on the edge of the city's prime shopping area and within a few minutes' walk of the cathedral and the renowned Festival Theatre. It therefore offers the convenience of a central business location together with the benefit of retail and leisure opportunities on the doorstep. Chichester's rail and bus stations are approximately a 10-minute walk.
The property is also within close proximity of a number of car parks for staff where season tickets are available. Priory Park is within 300 metres giving excellent amenity space at lunchtime. Nearby restaurants in North Street include Bill's and Purchases, both notable eateries in Chichester, in addition to many nearby coffee shops with many nationals represented.
Description
Fernleigh is an attractive Grade II listed flint and brick building, offering characterful accommodation within a prominent setting. The property is anchored by Cowdray Farm Shop & Café at ground and part first floor level, creating an established destination with consistent footfall. The landlord is seeking to build on this by creating a vibrant retail hub, with opportunities for complementary occupiers across the upper floors.
The available accommodation comprises three open-plan rooms across the first and second floors, all benefiting from good natural light, neutral finishes and wood-effect flooring. The second floor provides two flexible suites, one with exposed timber beams adding further character, while the first floor offers a well-positioned unit above the active ground floor uses. The spaces are suitable for a variety of occupiers including boutique retail, studio, wellness or office-based uses, and provide a rare opportunity to trade from within a distinctive period building.
Fernleigh are inviting local, like minded small businesses to open concessions within Chichester's premier city centre location.
