The property is situated to the North of Exeter City Centre, within the Duryard and St James Ward. It is fully occupied by the John Lewis Partnership and comprises a mix of retail and commercial outlets, classifying it as a non-domestic building.
Originally constructed in the 1960s, the building features a concrete-encased steel frame with reinforced concrete floor slabs throughout. In 2011, the property underwent significant refurbishment works, including the over-cladding of the original 1960s façade.
The works involved include removal of approximately 260sqm of existing non-compliant cladding from the Longbrook Street elevation, to be replaced with a proprietary 9mm Rockpanel FS Xtra A2 cladding system, including insulation and fire barriers compliant with current standards.
Completion: September 2025
