Description
A substantial detached warehouse facility of predominantly 1970s construction, incorporating brick and profile metal cladding elevations beneath a pitched asbestos sheet roof with translucent rooflights throughout. Formerly occupied by Park Furnishers, the building provides extensive warehouse and ancillary accommodation together with a substantial mezzanine floor reflecting its longstanding use as a furniture showroom and distribution facility.
A modern rear extension provides enhanced loading and servicing facilities, including a dedicated loading yard with three full-height loading doors. The secure, self contained site benefits from extensive parking and gated access. Whilst the existing mezzanine provides significant additional floor area, its removal would create a more conventional open-plan warehouse configuration suited to a wide range of industrial and logistics occupiers.
