Description
The property comprises a long-established industrial site that has been used for manufacturing purposes for approximately 60 years, providing a rare opportunity to acquire a freehold premises with established industrial use.The freehold demise includes the access road leading to the site together with a small parking area suitable for a car located at the top by Harwoods Road. The site itself contains three detached buildings. The principal building is arranged over two storeys, providing a large first-floor area together with a ground floor that includes W/C facilities. In addition, there is an L-shaped building which benefits from a metal loading shutter door, allowing forklift access directly into the building and making it well suited for loading, storage or workshop use. A further smaller two-storey building is also situated on the site and provides useful additional storage space. The property benefits from three-phase power, supporting a variety of industrial or manufacturing operations. The buildings are in working condition, although somewhat tired in parts, which is consistent with a site that has been used for manufacturing over the past six decades.
