The ground floor comprises of just under 1,700 sq. ft. and includes a bar, and open plan area, previously used for seating, with a
separate kitchen and WC. The mezzanine of just over 345 sq. ft. consists of a further seating area with WCs. The first floor of just
under 1,300 sq. ft. is open plan and includes a bar, kitchen and WCs. The second floor of just under 650 sq. ft. appears to have
previously been used as residential accommodation for staff and is split into various rooms separated by partition walls, and includes
a kitchen and shower room with WC. The building is likely remembered locally as the Downtown Diner, however, it was previously
operating as Po Thai, a Thai Restaurant. The property would therefore be ideal for another restaurant user who can make use of the
current layout, fixtures and fittings, or a user falling within Use Class E. Externally there is space for 1-2 vehicles to the front, an
outside decked seating area and stores.
