Kempock Street, Gourock

OVERVIEW

**360° Tour Available**

This rarely available and high potential Gourock retail unit property has been made available to let within a unique town centre location and available to let through Bowman Rebecchi - The Home of Property.

The former Post Office unit was prevously two single units, combined to create one large space, with an enviable and highly visible location within the town centre. 

Internally, the property has been left in its previous configuration, but offers a wide variety of opportunities for new occupants. Laid out as a retail store, the previous Post Office counter is still in situ as is the internal racking and storage areas.

To the rear is a small staff area and storage, with the western side of the building offering a further large storage area. All of the partitions are stud partitions and so the unit could be reconfigured to suit new occupants.

Entry is from upper Kempock Street, with a roller shutter for increased security.

There is a range of on-street parking for staff and visitors, ranging from 1 hour on Kempock Street, 1-3 hours (disc scheme) on lower Kempock Street and all-day parking (lower Kempock Street car park) for a small fee. 

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