The property comprises a commercial site of approximately 0.5 acres (0.2 hectares) incorporating a substantial Grade II listed building, which is uniquely arranged to provide a detached two-storey structure with attached six-storey tower block and basement. There is a covered walkway between the structures giving access to further single storey unit to the rear.
The six-storey section is a landmark building know as The Tower, which was purpose built in 1899 for Wright's Crown Brewery and later utilised as a working corn mill, with a number of the original period features retained including a lift and stairs.
The majority of the property is currently vacant and provides a variety of accommodation including offices, warehouse and a former gym. The two-storey section has latterly been utilised for storage purposes. Part of the rear unit is currently owner occupied by a removals company.
Outside, the property is accessed directly off Cheshire Street and includes an external yard/car parking area. Within the yard there is also a separate single storey commercial unit with roller shutter access.
