Vacant Retail Premises

17 Kenneth Street offers an impressive commercial space occupying the ground floor of an attractive three-storey sandstone building and extending to approximately 96m². Constructed during the Victorian era, the building retains many original period features, including intricate façade detailing and a traditional slate roof, which together enhance its historic charm and architectural presence. Internally, the property has been recently and sympathetically refurbished to an excellent standard. Fresh, neutral décor is complemented by newly laid oak-effect laminate flooring throughout, creating a clean and professional environment suited to a wide range of business uses. High-quality Dordogne-style internal doors, finished in light oak, further elevate the interior specification. The main entrance from Kenneth Street leads directly into the spacious and light-filled principal sales area. This generous front space is fitted with professionally installed POS (Point of Sale) boards, which can be retained for convenience or easily removed if preferred. From the rear of the sales floor, a well-proportioned storage corridor unfolds, cleverly divided into two defined sections previously utilised for filing and storage, and includes a practical understairs cupboard. Beyond the corridor lies a large, separate office space, comfortably accommodating at least two desks and offering an ideal setting for administration or client consultations. Adjoining this office is a bright and welcoming meeting room, featuring a large picture window facing onto Tomnahurich Street. This elegant space previously housed a boardroom table for six, alongside ancillary furnishings such as a sideboard and coffee machine, providing a highly functional and professional environment for meetings. A further door leads into the inner hallway, which has been thoughtfully configured as a tea preparation area. This area benefits from a worktop and space for a small undercounter fridge. An additional entrance/exit to Tomnahurich Street offers further flexibility for access. Adjacent to the tea preparation area is a traditional Belfast sink with a storage cupboard positioned above. A spacious WC, fitted with modern white sanitaryware and an electric hand dryer, completes the facilities and ensures practical functionality throughout the premises. The premises are currently classified as Planning Class 1A (Shop, Financial and other professional services). Should another classification be sought, statutory consents would be required.
