Description
The handsome, sandstone property was built in the early 19th century and is set over 3 floors. The ground floor is utilised as the barber’s shop and the residential flat occupies both the first and second floors. The barber’s shop and flat are entirely separate and have the benefit of independent customer access and utility supplies. The shop is defined as 101 Academy Street, and the flat is 99 Academy Street.
Recently the property has undergone maintenance to sympathetically improve the chimney, roof and exterior.
THE BARBERS SHOP
The barbers shop features wooden painted, double saloon doors, each half-glazed to allow light to pass through, complemented by a glass panel above. A large, nearly full-length picture window spans the front, bathing the interior in natural light. Together, these elements create a bright, airy atmosphere that enhances the shop’s fresh, clean, and inviting appeal.
As you step inside, you're welcomed into a spacious and thoughtfully designed interior that feels both stylish and inviting. The walls are tastefully half-panelled in rich dark mahogany, beautifully paired with a deep orange upper section that adds warmth and depth. This bold and sophisticated colour scheme flows seamlessly throughout the shop, perfectly capturing the essence of a classic jazz-inspired gentleman’s barbershop. Every element including artwork and jazz objet d’art has been carefully chosen to enhance the atmosphere, resulting in a distinctive and characterful space that feels both timeless and contemporary.
