A shopping arcade in the centre of Midsomer Norton is set to go to auction next month.

Holly Court, on the High Street, is home to several independent businesses and sits in the heart of Midsomer Norton, connecting the main car park and the town centre.

The arcade, which is fully let, is now for sale via auction, with bidding on the property taking place on 23 November.

There are currently 17 units in the arcade, with some doubled together for various tenants.

Businesses currently in the arcade according to the agent’s documentation include a cafe, a beauty salon, a soft play centre, a restaurant, an office, a hairdresser, an art activity shop, a fruit and vegetable shop, an independent retailer, a pizzeria and a tanning studio.

The arcade produces an annual rent of £98,973, which equates to £12 per square foot.

Holly Court is listed for auction with Lambert Smith Hampton, with a starting price of £875,000.

The agent describes the property as “a retail arcade arranged over ground and first floors.

“The communal area of the arcade comprises a pedestrian thoroughfare running from the High Street frontage, to the rear of the property.

“There is an escalator to the rear of the property as well as a stairway providing access to the rear frontage at first floor level which fronts the principal car park in the village.

“There is a further stairway accessible from the High Street frontage of the property.

“The retail units line the causeway through the arcade, with several units having additional frontages to either the High Street or the rear.

“The majority of tenants are small, boutique, businesses and the units reflect this use.”

Bidding for Holly Court will open at 12pm on 23 November and will close at 4pm the same day.
