Renowned for its abundance of antique shops, art galleries, and craft stores, Uppingham provides an attractive and affluent setting.
The combined floor space of the two units is 260 sqm, with one unit divided into a half-shop, half-workshop configuration on two levels, including storage facilities. The second unit encompasses retail floor space and additional storage. Both units are equipped with toilet and kitchen facilities, and ample parking is available, providing convenience for customers and staff alike.
There is ample room to increase marketing efforts, allowing for a higher budget allocation to reach a broader audience. Proactive engagement with antique dealers, heightened promotion of the website, further extending social media reach, and exploring new online channels are all avenues that hold promise for enhancing the business's reach and impact in the market.
