Situated in central Newport which is the Isle of WightÂ’s county town, this substantial freehold property enjoys a dual frontage onto both Pyle Street and Scarrots Lane to the rear. The building was previously occupied by a well-known Island meat wholesaler and as such is configured to include large walk-in fridges and freezers on the ground floor with additional vehicle garaging and storage. On the first floor there are office and store rooms to both front and rear elevations.
It is believed that there was once a central courtyard between the Pyle Street and Scarrots Lane buildings although this was covered over for the convenience of the previous occupiers. While there is potential for continued commercial usage it is considered that the site offers great scope and potential for re-development either by way of conversion or potentially demolition and re-development of the whole site to include a residential element, subject to all necessary consents being obtainable.
It is worthy of note that many of the buildings with frontages onto Scarrots Lane have previously undergone conversion or re-development.
