Land and buildings on the west side of Berkhampstead Road, Chesham, HP5

Land size
0.23 acres

Key Features

  • Site area approx. 0.23 acres
  • Prominently positioned on Berkhampsted Road
  • Secure site with gated access

Description

Occupying a site area of 0.23 acres, the site is currently comprised of a pumping station that is no longer in active use. The site is hard surfaced with a building that measures to be approximately 1,600sqft. The site offers gated access and can be accessed via Alma Road. It is worth noting that in 2004, planning permission was granted for the redevelopment of the site to provide 6 terraced dwellings but it was never implemented. Please note that there is an observation borehole used for groundwater monitoring only that will become redundant and my clients will require a new borehole for access on the edge of the site.

Prominently positioned on Berkhampsted Road, the property occupies a highly visible location benefitting from passing road traffic and excellent accessibility. Chesham town centre is approximately 1.2 miles away, offering a wide range of retail and leisure amenities, whilst Chesham Underground Station (Metropolitan Line) is approximately 1.3 miles from the property. The A416 provides convenient access, with Junction 18 of the M25 approximately 8 miles away. The surrounding area is well served by local amenities and highly regarded schools.
