Description
The property comprises a distinctive former WWII radio station that has been refurbished to offer a versatile combination of expansive workshop accommodation, separate storage areas and contemporary office content, extending to approximately 12,199 sqft (1,133.28 sqm).
The main accommodation is arranged around a large, predominantly open-plan workshop which benefits from high ceilings, substantial natural lighting and roller shutter loading doors accessing the circular yard. Surrounding and adjoining the workshop are numerous dedicated storage rooms and modern office accommodation, finished to a modern specification, with staff welfare facilities.
Externally, the property benefits from a secure circular yard, together with on-site parking provision for staff and visitors. There is some additional surplus land which provides scope for additional yard space or additional buildings, subject to planning.
The site was originally constructed during WW2 as part of a larger transmitter site to be operated by the Ministry of Defence as a backup for the Rugby Radio Station. The site was one of 2 buildings constructed and was known at Shortwave A with a call sign of GBZ.
The site was later taken over by BT who operated the site on behalf of the MOD and was subsequently shut down in 2003. The site has since been re-developed to provide modern workshop accommodation whilst retaining some of the original character of the site.

Offers in the region of £650,000 are invited for the freehold interest with benefit of vacant possession on completion.
