A popular lighting shop in a Wiltshire town is set to go up for auction.

The retail space at 18B New Road in Chippenham, currently home to Lightways, is scheduled to go under the hammer on July 9.

The property is being marketed by Strakers, who have listed the site on Rightmove with a price tag of £25,000.

The agents describe the available space as a “ground floor vacant retail shop unit within walking distance of the town centre.”

They add that the retail space is “in need of modernisation”.

The agents continue: “The shop is the central unit of three and there are flats over. The shop comprises external steps up to front retail shop, steps to rear hall with storeroom, kitchen area with WC. The shop has an internal floor area of about 60m² (647ft²).”

The listing goes on to state there is rear access with unloading space and bin stores, and off-street parking is available on adjoining streets with a staircase access to the flat roof over the rear of the shop.

The shop has 57 years remaining on the lease with a ground rent of £10pa.

This paper has spoken to a representative from Lightways, who explained the shop is still operating, with the premises available to take on following the auction.
