Description

Location

The ground floor of No. 16 St John's Street comprises a well-positioned and highly prominent retail unit, currently occupied by the British Heart Foundation, offering a proven trading location within Ashbourne town centre.

The accommodation is arranged to provide an open-plan sales area to the front, benefiting from a wide timber-framed glazed frontage which delivers excellent visibility and strong pedestrian engagement.

To the rear, the unit is supported by a dedicated storeroom, together with a private office, staff kitchenette and WC facilities. In addition, the property benefits from a basement area which offers supplementary storage space.

Internally, the unit is fitted to a good standard, incorporating wood-effect flooring, fitted wall merchandising, and a suspended ceiling with integrated spot lighting. The configuration is well suited to a range of retail, charity, or service-based occupiers with minimal adaptation required.

Location

The property is located within the highly regarded market town of Ashbourne, a popular tourist destination in the Derbyshire Dales, situated approximately 13 miles north west of Derby and 14 miles north east of Uttoxeter.

The property occupies a prime position in the heart of Ashbourne town centre on St John Street, one of the town's principal retailing pitches, benefitting from strong levels of pedestrian footfall and excellent visibility. The location is supported by a well-balanced mix of national and independent occupiers, including Subway, Oxfam, Boots, The Co-operative and Costa Coffee.

The adjacent Costa Coffee has recently undergone internal refurbishment and improvement works, reinforcing its long-term commitment to the location and enhancing footfall in the immediate vicinity. In addition, Bear opened a new café premises in 2023 directly opposite, further strengthening the town's independent food and beverage offering and contributing to the continued vibrancy of the high street.

The property also benefits from close proximity to Ashbourne's recently improved and pedestrianised marketplace, which has enhanced the town centre environment and provides an attractive focal point for retail, leisure and community activity.

Convenient parking provisions are available nearby, with free on-street parking on Compton Street and Church Street, alongside the Shawcroft public car park located within a short one-minute walk.
