The empty property comprises a ground floor only with a sink, a cupboard and a toilet.

Craig Upton, marketing director at Bond Wolfe, said: “This is an unusual property that used to be the storeroom and operating base for a cleaner of various adjacent properties.

 “It’s now vacant, but might be an interesting place to develop for various uses, subject to planning permission.”
