Worcester is a historic cathedral city, with a population of just over 100,000 people. It is located approximately 29 miles south west of Birmingham, 28 miles north of Cheltenham and 27 miles west of Stratford upon Avon.
The property is adjacent to the City's Bus & Coach Station and a 750 space Multi Storey Car Park located above the Friary Walk Shopping Centre. The Friary Walk Shopping Centre is host to a number of multiple retail users including Vision Express, New Look and The Works amongst others. Two of the City’s main nightclubs are located opposite, as well as a number of pubs, cafes and food outlets.
The property is located directly opposite the new Scala Theatre, an £18 million government-funded, multi-purpose arts and cultural venue scheduled to open in Autumn 2026. The project will feature a theatre stage, cinema, and community workshop space. The property's south facing forecourt will have a front row to all the proposed open air performances and festivals. This development is expected to enhance the surrounding area and significantly contribute to the city’s entertainment and cultural offer.
The property comprises a prominent period character unit, currently configured as a bar and competitive gaming venue. In addition to the main retail area, the accommodation includes ladies’ and gents’ WCs, a beer cellar and a fully fitted kitchen, benefiting from 3-phase electricity and an upgraded gas supply. The first floor offers ancillary/office accommodation with potential for further extension. The property also benefits from an existing license for outdoor seating fronting onto Angel Place.
The property is available by way of a new full repairing and insuring lease for a term of years to be agreed subject to vacant possession.
