A WINCHESTER city centre shop is set to be transformed into a barber shop.

Jaggard Baker and London Clancy have let 25 City Road to Headcase Barbers on a ten-year lease. The quoting rent was £10,000 per annum exclusive.

The currently empty property attracted considerable interest from several hairdressing users and a deal was eventually struck with Headcase Barbers.

Jim Sawyer, of London Clancy, said: “This new letting is helping to enhance the area where the city council is looking at schemes for improvement.”
