'St Georges' comprises a terrace of 7 ground floor lock up retail fronted shops, which wrap around the corner of Victoria Place and Chard Street. The shops are self-contained and independently let - Tenancy Schedule overleaf.

Over this, and behind is a development of 17 residential flats, all of which have been sold on long leases - further details below. The residential accommodation is situated around a pleasant rear courtyard and is a mix of the original upper parts and later purpose-built extensions.

Finally, the freehold as stands includes a freeholder retained ground and first floor residential unit. This does not form part of the sale and will be retained under a new Long Leasehold title.
