Previously used as the popular (first of its kind in Grimsby area) traditional working pottery studio, hosting regular classes on the potter’s wheel. This unique property with exposed bricks and wooden beams, has a rustic feel and would provide the perfect venue as a creative space for perhaps another potter, artist, sculptor, craftsperson with ample opportunities for meetings/photography shoots or even as we had planned – an upstairs art exhibition space to promote the work of other artists.

Note: A large 3 phase potter’s kiln (currently disconnected) will be left in the building for use or buyers disposal.

Location

The north facing property close to the traffic lights at junction of Freeman street and Wellington Street, is located in between 2 other businesses; one an established Martial arts venue on the corner, the other directly next door currently being refurbished as a motor workshop garage with hand car wash. It’s prominent position with large frontal display windows encourages good footfall and passing trade.

Parking, though not provided directly outside the property, can be found close by. Public car parks are also a stones throw away.

Within walking distance is Asda, Boyes, Freeman Street shops with residential flats above. Further down the road is the popular Freeman Street Market. Freshney Place shopping center in the heart of Grimsby is also only a 7 minute walk.

With easy access to A180, major transport links and being close to the Grimsby Railway Station the building is also conveniently situated on a bus route.
