A retail unit with an attractive bay window frontage in the centre of the primary cobbled street retail sector opposite Windsor Castle and the Henry VIIIth gate which the guards march in and out of during their regular parades, attracting crowds of tourists. The premises have a prominent frontage at the castle end of the street.
