Commercial property for sale in 42-44 Earl Street, Maidstone, Kent ME14

An attractive double fronted commercial property located in Maidstone's town centre, close to both local and nationwide retailers, as well as Maidstone's three railway stations.

The building was previously let to large restaurant chains including 7Bone and Café Rouge but is now offered with vacant possession and is considered ideal for re-letting.

Earl Street is a popular location for restaurants and occupied by the likes of Zizzi, Nando’s, Giggling Squid, Pizza Express and Wagamama which benefits from the good footfall generated by Maidstone’s shopping areas such as Fremlin Walk.

There are currently two entrances off Earl Street, which could provide separate access to the upper parts if these were to be converted. There is also access at the rear via an alley way.
