A SPECIALIST Flooring company based in Altrincham has just opened a new retail outlet in the town centre.

Grosvenor Flooring offers an extensive range of carpet, wood, laminate and vinyl flooring for both residential and commercial clients across the North West.

It has taken the former St Ann’s Hospice retail unit on the town’s main thorough fare in Stamford New Road on a five year lease. The accommodation provides 1,200 sq ft on ground and basement levels.

Daniel Lee, director of Regional Property Solutions, who acted for the private landlord, said: “Despite the public realm improvement works, there has certainly been increased activity in both lettings and sales recently along Stamford New Road which reflects the ongoing rejuvenation around the town centre.

"I am confident that the last remaining vacant units along this strip will be let this year."
