Location - Toft is a highly desirable village situated approximately 7 miles due West of Cambridge. Educational facilities are available with good primary schools at Comberton and Bourn. Secondary education is available at Comberton Village College. There is easy access to the M11 with Junction 12 about 10 to 15 minutes drive away. Main line railway stations are available at Royston and Cambridge providing services to Kings Cross and Liverpool Street.
The property is located on the High Street in Toft. Approximately 1 mile from Comberton and 4 miles from the M11 and 2.5 miles from the A14.

Description - A substantial self-contained fenced site, totalling approximately 898 sq m (9,669 sq ft). The premises consists of a detached building of Cambridge brick under a pan tiled roof.

The building is constructed of Cambridge Brick under a pantilled roof. The building has three-phase electricity. The building was a former Blacksmiths Yard and was extended and converted approximately 35-40 years ago. The property has mains water and foul drainage to a cesspit. There are three further access points to the building to allow large completed projects to leave the site when finished.

The buildings will require a substantial upgrade and in particular the timber window frames have now reached the end of their economic life. There is access from School Lane to the grounds at the rear, and this could provide two additional car parking spaces.
