Gillity Village Shopping Centre, Liskeard Road, Walsall, West Midlands, WS5 3EY

Description

The property is a community shopping centre that was constructed in the 1960s and comprises two principal retail parades with 15 duplex residential units, 15 garages and extensive customer surface parking. The 2 bed duplex flats at first and second floor levels are accessed from external staircases.

The scheme comprises a total of 16 retail units although three have been combined and are occupied by the Co-op, and a further two are occupied by an Indian restaurant.
