Home furnishings retailer agrees lease on larger premises in Peterborough

An independent home furnishings retailer has secured larger premises in Peterborough.

Homesoft, which is also known as the Upholstery Centre, has agreed to lease a 1,428 sq ft unit at Alfric Square, Woodston, from its base for the last 25 years off Oundle Road.

Peter Beckerton, a co-director for the upholstery, fabric, curtains, blinds and flooring retailer, said: “We had been looking for a larger unit for about 12 months before securing 31 Alfric Square for use as our main showroom premises and office base.

“As a local independent business who has been trading for so many years and, in having such an established and loyal customer base - in trade circles, in particular - our property requirements were quite exacting when it came to size and location.

“We are currently stocking our new showroom and are looking forward to opening for business soon.”

The lease agreement was overseen by commercial agents Eddisons incorporating Barker Storey Matthews.
