A new chapter

The Book Castle, in Church Street, Dunstable, was in business for 30 years before closing earlier this year.

Marketing agents at Dunstable-based Alexander & Co: Commercial & Industrial say the property represents a great opportunity for someone else.

A spokesman for Alexander & Co said: “After trading for some 30 years Dunstable’s well known and highly regarded Book Castle has recently closed its doors.

“Whilst in many ways this is sad for the people of Dunstable, it does provide an incredibly rare opportunity for someone to acquire these prominent and most distinctive premises on a leasehold basis.”

The two-floor Book Castle is centrally located in the town of Dunstable, sitting opposite the Church Street entrance to The Quadrant shopping Centre. Multiples within 100m including Natwest, Lloyds TSB, Ladbrokes and Dominos Pizza.

> Also on the market with Alexander & Co: Commercial & Industrial is the lease of the Village Cafe in High Street, Markyate. It has planning permission to be used as a restaurant.

> Another eating venue, in Marsh Road, Luton, is also on the market with Alexander & Co.

The freehold of the sandwich bar is available and the agents say it will be of interest to both investors and owner occupiers, providing the opportunity for a variety of uses.

Currently a single storey end of terrace unit the property occupies a larger site, which Alexander & Co say could offer some scope for development/expansion, whilst retaining the significant benefit afforded by the parking that the shop already features.
