Property to rent

LOCATION

This iconic Grantham retail property was, until recently, in the same family for almost 60 years and is a landmark to local people. Situated in a unique position in the town, opposite the Blue Pig Pub on Swinegate, the shop was home to Arnold and David Graham’s greengrocery business. Neighbouring businesses on Swinegate and nearby, Vine Street include hairdressers, beauty clinics, antiques and dress making shops. The town centre is a short walk away to a range of high street names.

The property comprises a ground floor retail office/shop, rear room/kitchen area and WC offering versatile and practical retail and business premises. Suitable for a variety of uses, subject to the necessary consents. This represents a unique opportunity to lease a shop with a rich heritage but which has been brought firmly into the 21st century, with an extensive yet sympathetic refurbishment.

Grantham is an established market town in the south of Lincolnshire, some 25 miles south of Lincoln and 23 miles east of Nottingham, having a residential population of approximately 38,000 people within a wider catchment area. The town benefits from excellent road links with A1 and A52 trunk roads and main line rail connections to London Kings Cross/Leeds taking a little over 1 hour. In addition, with the Southern Urban Expansion and the new A52 relief road, new junction on the A1/distribution centre and a new house building program, the town is set to grow significantly.
