The toilet block forms part of a wider 0.098 acre site which was formerly used as a car sales lot.

A sales pitch from Pugh reads: “A freehold site of approximately 0.098 acres with a former public WC situated on site.

"Previously used as a car sales pitch but could be used for alternative uses subject to the necessary consents.

"The site benefits from running water, mains connected drainage and an electricity meter already being in place and operational.”
