John Street, Gourock

OVERVIEW

This fantastic space in Gourock has undergone a transformation following renovation works and is located directly off of the A78 main road through the popular and growing Gourock town centre.

The smart unit was previously a business centre but has since been fully refurbished to create a walk-in-ready business space with laminate flooring and a new shop front.

The current configuration provides a good-sized open-plan space suitable for a range of uses, including office and retail. To the rear of the property is a tea preparation staff area and welfare facilities. 

In 2021, a new shopfront was installed to create a more modern look and better heat efficiency as well as increased security. There is a range of on-street parking for staff and visitors. 

Gourock is a thriving town, bucking the retail challenges nationally, with a high demand for units like this in and around the town centre area. As a result, this property is expected to be popular and likely to be let quickly.
