An attractive double fronted commercial property located in Maidstone's town centre, close to both local and nationwide retailers, as well as Maidstone's three railway stations.
The building was previously let to large restaurant chains including 7Bone and Café Rouge but is now offered with vacant possession and is considered ideal for re-letting.
Earl Street is a popular location for restaurants and occupied by the likes of Zizzi, Nando’s, Giggling Squid, Pizza Express and Wagamama which benefits from the good footfall generated by Maidstone’s shopping areas such as Fremlin Walk.
The building has accommodation over three floors, plus basement and may offer itself for residential conversion of the upper parts, subject to all necessary consents being obtainable.
There are currently two entrances off Earl Street, which could provide separate access to the upper parts if these were to be converted. There is also access at the rear via an alley way.

All properties upon which we are instructed are offered for sale in the auction catalogue. The 20-25,000 full colour catalogues produced for each of our auctions are available either by post or through a network of over 850 estate agency outlets throughout Southern England.
