Description
Originally built by RG Carter in 1960, for Bally Shoes. It was described at the time as having a very distinctive “wave-effect” serrated roofline. Bally Shoes closed the factory in 1997 and subsequently it has been in the ownership of Hoseasons.
The property is set over two levels, with the lower ground divided into various areas for warehousing, plant and storage rooms. Latterly the southern end of the lower warehouse was converted to a children’s nursery, although it has not been in use as such since April 2018. The warehouse has a goods access to the rear (west) with a single loading door.
The front of the building faces east and has personnel and visitor access. This floor benefits from excellent natural light owing to the serrated roofline. The southern end of this floor is divided into a number of large bays used for archiving and storage. The northern half has larger open plan offices and various meeting rooms, kitchen/breakout space as well as a number of WC facilities.
There are three areas of mezzanine flooring, all of which are accessed from the open plan offices.
Externally, the demise includes approximately 74 car parking spaces to the front. At the rear adjacent to the loading bay is a raised surface car park with circa 24 car parking spaces. Beneath this, the space is enclosed with fencing and utilised as an external storage area.
Location
The property is situated within the centre of Lowestoft itself, with 0.5 miles to the west of Lowestoft's historic high street. The A47 is also within 0.5 miles and provides access to the A12 and A146. Lowestoft train station is 0.5 miles south of the property. The surrounding area is predominantly residential with Lowestoft Town FC’s, Crown Meadow ground in close proximity.
