Description

The 500-acre Hatfield Business Park is the premier business location in the A1(M) corridor in Hertfordshire. It occupies a superb location between junctions 3 and 4 of the A1(M) between Hatfield and St Albans.

Major headquarters occupiers on the park include Ocado, Computercentre, Affinity Water, Booker, Porsche, McLaren Cars, Ferrari, McLaren, Aston Martin, Jaguar Rover, Yodel, Esai and the University of Hertfordshire.

The IO Centre is a highly successful development of production and warehouse units completed in 2006. It is the only opportunity for small/medium size users to acquire business premises within the Business Park.

Description

High quality warehouse / production building

An end-of-terrace property that forms part of a block of four units on the extremely popular IO Centre estate, comprising an exceptionally well-fitted and attractively presented warehouse/production building.

It is constructed of a steel portal frame, with elevations and roof finished in low-maintenance silver/blue PVC-coated steel cladding. Security is enhanced by precast concrete inner perimeter walls to a height of approx. 2.25m. The building has an approximate eaves height of 7.2m.

The front elevation incorporates two full-size electrically operated loading doors, each measuring approx. 4m wide by 5.1m high, together with double-glazed windows at both ground and first-floor levels.

To the front of the property is a dedicated loading and parking area finished with brick paviours, with additional estate parking located opposite. There are 11 car parking spaces included with the demise with in addition the ability to double park in front of the loading doors.

The warehouse / production area benefits from high-bay LED lighting and is decorated in white.

First-floor air conditioned offices are located above the main entrance. At ground floor level, beneath the offices, there is a small kitchen and WC accommodation.
