The property is prominently situated in the centre of Penkridge on the east side of the A449 Stafford to Wolverhampton trunk road at Stone Cross, close to its junction with Crown Bridge. Penkridge is a small market town located approximately five miles to the south of the county town of Stafford and has a thriving commercial centre and a popular Wednesday and Saturday market drawing custom from a wide geographical area. There is a Sainsbury Local convenience store branch immediately opposite.
The property forms part of a terrace and is of two-storey brick and tile construction enlarged at the rear by way a single-storey flat-roofed brick extension and provides commercial premises traded as a Lloyds bank branch for a number of years but now surplus to operational requirements.
The accommodation is centrally heated with air conditioning to part and currently provides a banking hall area at ground floor level with ancillary space on the first floor.
The premises currently enjoy planning permission for A2 (Professional and Financial Services) use but would be suitable for a wide variety of other retail or non-retail purposes, subject to any planning consent required by the relevant local authority. Recent amendments to the planning rules suggest that change of uses to A1 (Retail) and D2 (Assembly and Leisure) should be a formality, albeit that the latter is subject to "prior approval
