Leading commercial property consultancy Legat Owen has successfully secured new tenants for three prominent retail units in the heart of Nantwich town centre, reinforcing the town’s reputation as a thriving destination for independent and national retailers.
The properties, located at 10 Swine Market, 31 Pepper Street and 3 Church Lane, offer a combined total of over 4,000 sq ft of prime retail space. Their central locations, flexible layouts and proximity to established high street brands attracted strong interest from prospective occupiers.
The successful letting of 10 Swine Market, Nantwich to Hope House Children’s Hospices marks an exciting new chapter for the charity’s retail operations in the town.
The prominent retail unit, formerly occupied by B&M, is located in the heart of Nantwich’s bustling town centre and offers 2,542 sq ft of open-plan space. It will serve as the new, larger store for Hope House, enabling the charity to expand its retail offering and enhance its visibility within the community.
The relocation supports Hope House’s mission to raise £10 million every year so the charity can provide professional care and support, and the best quality of life, to local children with life-threatening conditions and their families from across Cheshire, Shropshire and North Wales.
Andy Butler, Director at Legat Owen, said:
“The new premises at Swine Market offer a fantastic opportunity for the charity to grow its presence in Nantwich and continue its invaluable work in the region. The new store is set to open in November, providing improved facilities, greater floor space and a refreshed shopping experience for supporters and visitors.”
“It was good to work with our client, the new owner Apavi, to bring part of the property’s ground floor retail area back to life, particularly as it had been empty for some time under previous ownership.”
The property at 31 Pepper Street, which comprises 838 sq ft across two storeys, has been secured by Whitegates, who are relocating their letting agency to this versatile space that offers both retail and office accommodation in a busy part of town.
Shaun Cafferty, Director, Whitegates commented:
“Due to the substantial growth of our award-winning estate agency business, we needed a larger space to operate from and to welcome customers into, whilst remaining in the heart of Nantwich. Legat Owen had the ideal property and helped make the process easy.”
Meanwhile, 3 Church Lane, measuring 702 sq ft, will soon be home to La Dolce Vita, a charming Italian patisserie and café. The business is well-known locally from its presence at Nantwich Market, and this new location will include a coffee and tea room, with plans to open within the next two months.
Andy Butler, Director at Legat Owen, added:
“We’re delighted to have secured new tenants for these three properties, which are all superbly located within Nantwich town centre. The level of interest we received reflects the strength of the local market and the continued appeal of Nantwich as a retail and leisure destination.”
“These lettings are a fantastic reflection of the confidence businesses have in Nantwich town centre. Each of these occupiers brings something unique to the high street, and we’re proud to play a part in supporting the town’s continued growth and appeal.”
