Anchor Inn · Property To Rent

This substantial retail unit, being the former Anchor Public House, is some 89 feet deep and benefits from two overhead natural daylight panels, with part stone flagged and natural timber flooring, creating an attractive ambience to what is potentially an appealing and historic space. To the rear of the unit, there is access to the basement, the toilets, and kitchen areas. There is additional storage accommodation in the basement (not measured). The property is situated at the eastern end lower East Street, an area that is witnessing an exceptional amount of regeneration and redevelopment in central Southampton. This includes the demolition of many adjoining buildings on East Street (with the exception of the Debenhams departmental store). Within 100 yards is a £27 million mixed-use scheme, predominantly 132 one and two-bed apartments for the rented sector, being constructed by the National Regional Property group for Grainger on the former Tuner-In site; conversion of Capital House by Kier for 423 room student accommodation to be managed by CRM, in addition to provision of new leisure and retail space. Adjoining are attractive champagne coloured brick-faced buildings currently under construction for additional student accommodation. Apart from a substantial multi-storey car park, Lidl’s are understood to be taking space in the new development. Consequently, this is a rare opportunity to get established in what will be a very busy and high foot-fall location, providing retail or dining space for a growing audience.
