About

The property comprises a substantial commercial site with versatile accommodation arranged as workshop, office, and yard space. Prominently situated just off the A49 Trunk Road, the site extends to approximately 1.962 acres (0.794 hectares) and offers excellent accessibility.
The property includes two detached buildings, together providing a total Gross Internal Floor Area of approximately 20,582 sq ft (1,912 m²). The main building consists of a series of interlinked workshop bays and ancillary areas, with the original sections dating from the 1950s and later extensions added in the 1980s.
Constructed with a steel frame, the main structure is clad in a combination of brickwork, blockwork, and corrugated cement fibre sheeting, under a roof of similar material with translucent roof lights. The building is arranged in three distinct bays and includes a mezzanine store of approximately 609 sq ft (56.57 m²). Eaves heights vary between approximately 5.5 metres and 8 metres.
Internally, the workshop accommodation is supported by welfare facilities, with interlinking access points between bays. There is a variation in floor levels between the original and later-built sections. The bays benefit from multiple up-and-over door openings, ranging in width from 4.89 to 6 metres.
A further detached, prefabricated office building is also included within the site. Clad in brick with double-glazed windows and a tiled roof, it provides approximately 872 sq ft (81 m²) of office space with associated welfare facilities.
Externally, the site offers a secure yard with car parking. Surfacing is a mix of concrete and tarmacadam. The site is generally level, fenced, and benefits from direct access off an adopted highway.
