Whilst the area is predominantly residential, there are a number of other occupiers and businesses in the vicinity, including the States of Guernsey Offices of Administration at Sir Charles Frossard House, the popular Two Frenchies’ Boulangerie, Camilla’s Coffee Shop, Paul’s Motors, Jeffrey’s Service Station, Ideal Furnishing, as well as a number of financial and professional services businesses including JP Morgan, JLT, Rathbones, Summit Group, Ferbrache & Farrell and Guernsey Finance.​

Elizabeth College Junior School and Primary School, Busy Bees Nursery and the Princess Elizabeth Hospital are also nearby.​

The Best Complex is a 0.75-acre site benefitting from excellent main road frontage extending to a width of 54 metres.

Further details can be provided upon request.
