INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY - MODERN BUSINESS UNIT WITH PARKING AND LOADING FORECOURT, OFFERED FOR SALE WITH ESTABLISHED TENANT IN SITU

This modern end of terrace business unit presents an excellent investment opportunity, offered for sale with an established tenant in situ, providing an immediate rental income. Situated within a well-established commercial estate in the popular coastal town of Swanage, the property benefits from a thriving local economy supported by both tourism and a strong independent business community.

The accommodation is both practical and versatile, comprising a generous ground floor workspace alongside a mezzanine level, ideal for office use, storage or meeting space.

Externally, the property enjoys a south-facing frontage, with an electric roller shutter door allowing for easy loading access, complemented by a separate pedestrian entrance. A forecourt to the front provides valuable parking and loading facilities.

The surrounding estate accommodates a variety of businesses including workshops, offices and light industrial units, offering a dynamic and well-connected working environment with access to nearby Wareham and wider Dorset transport links.
