Description

The property comprises a semi-detached industrial building which has been divided into two separate units.

The front unit is arranged with ground floor offices (as a projection from the main building) with workshop and warehouse space to the rear. The offices are fitted out to a good standard, benefiting from uPVC double glazing and adjoin staff cloakroom facilities with a doorway leading to the workshop benefiting from fitted kitchen and small storage area with the remainder primarily set out as an open plan workshop.

The rear unit had been created by subdividing the original space to create a self-contained workshop. The workshop is primarily open plan but includes a small mezzanine which we understand to be tenant’s own. This rear unit includes a small demised yard area which is currently occupied by various temporary structures.

The buildings benefits from eaves heights of approximately 3.9m - 4.3m and both workshops include steel roller shutter loading doors leading to the side of the property and to the shared yard area. Parking is provided to the front and side of the building.
