Description
The site presents a rare opportunity to acquire a freehold industrial site totalling 5.20 acres, which includes 62,950 sq ft of industrial/ warehouse accommodation.
The site is best described in three distinct parts:
Open Storage - The open storage compound (2.08 acres) is a predominantly level area with tarmac scalping surfacing and is enclosed by a full height palisade fence. The site is connected to power. Access is via two vehicular palisade manual double leaf gates which can be reached via Ashley Industrial estate. Fern House Compound (0.3 acres) is a former car park of the Working Men’s Club. It is fully fenced and gated. Access is directly off Wakefield Road.
Fern House - Fern House is a two storey and basement former working mens club premises with a first floor flat, of brick-built construction under a hipped and pitched slated roof. There is an adjoining single storey steel framed extension with brick clad under a pitched tiled roof and a single-storey steel framed and brick/ clad extension under flat felted roof. The property has been vacant for a number of years and is dilapidated. There are two ad hoarding boards owned by Primesight Ltd, fronting Wakefield Road.
Industrial/Warehouse - The accommodation is arranged as three adjoining industrial bays, each of functional steel portal frame construction beneath single skin asbestos cement sheet roofs incorporating roof lights. The fourth bay is of steel. The units are linked to a sprinkler system covering bays 1-3.
Situated off Wakefield Road (A638) via a private road in Ossett, which is a market town in the City of Wakefield Metropolitan district.
The property is available to purchase on a freehold basis. We are instructed to seek offers in the region of £3,950,000 exclusive. Subject to contract.
