About this property

Detailed Description

The property comprises a modern, detached and bespoke Distribution Facility Investment with Packaging & Ripening Facilities with ancillary Office and Staff accommodation situated on a large site affording dock-level access to the main space, plentiful Yardage and perimeter Car Parking where scope exists on a Subject to Planning basis for further extensions to be built to the existing property.

We believe that the original structure was constructed during the late 1980's / early 1990's and substantial investment has occurred since construction to ensure that the Premises meet the most modern and stringent standards for their current use. The tenant has also spent considerable sums recently upgrading aspects of the property to suit their business requirements which demonstrates a commitment to the building, potentially beyond the July 2025 lease expiry date.

The property is of steel portal frame construction with a mixture of brick and insulated profiled metal cladding to the external elevations under a insulated and profiled metal roof covering. Eaves heights within the Stores and Packaging areas range from approximately 6 metres to 9 metres (20 ft to 30 ft). The two storey Office and Staff accommodation to part of the building is air conditioned and with heating being gas-fired via radiators. The main space has halogen lighting together with a 3 phase electricity supply and also level access and dock level entry points to the main areas.
