Busby Road is one of the principal thoroughfares running through Clarkston and connects to the A77/M77 which leads into Glasgow City Centre. The property occupies a prominent location on the west side of Busby Road and sits directly opposite The Toll shopping parade which has decked car parking.

The area is considered a vibrant neighbourhood shopping destination for the surrounding residential occupiers and nearby occupiers include Betfred, Boots, Costa Coffee, Pizza Hut, Greggs, Bank of Scotland, and a variety of local independent traders.

The subjects compromise a modern two storey retail development spread over ground and first floor. The building is of steel portal frame construction with a bricked finished and flat roof.

The property benefits from a ground to ceiling aluminium framed shop front with access being gained via automatic sliding door. Internally, the subjects follow the corporate fitout of a Tesco branch, with a tiled finish flooring, LED lighting and air conditioning units recessed within the suspended ceiling.

To the rear of the property the subject benefits from a partitioned W/C and loading area accessed via Rowallan Lane. Access to the first floor can be gained via an internal staircase leading to further W/C and staff facilities, office space and further storage.

The ground floor sales area was refitted and refurbished in 2018.
