67 Friar Gate

The property is situated in a highly visible location at the junction of Brick Street, Ashbourne Road and Friar Gate, which will be familiar to those passing through one of the city’s busy gateways. Friar Gate is one of Derby’s most prestigious addresses, being renowned for its Georgian and Victorian street-scape. Some of these period properties have been converted to commercial use (office, retail, restaurant, etc.) whilst others have remained or returned to residential use. Being a short walk from all of the amenities of the city-centre (approx. 0.5 miles to the east), this high-density, mixed-use but largely residential area is popular with both owner-occupiers and tenants and includes a significant student population. In terms of accessibility, Ashbourne Road/Friar Gate is one of the city’s arterial routes; Ashbourne Road connecting with the Outer Ring Road to the west and Friar Gate connecting with the Inner Ring Road to the east and onto the city centre. Description The property comprises a single-storey, corner position, retail building of traditional masonry construction with exposed brickwork elevations inclusive of single glazed display windows fronting both Brick Street and Friar Gate. The ground floor of the building provides retail accommodation with associated store and staff facilities to the rear with access from both the front elevation on Friar Gate and the side elevation on Brick Street. The property benefits from a fitted basement that provides useful storage/office accommodation. Externally, there is a small courtyard to the rear which is used for bin storage that can be accessed off Brick Street.
