Description
Rare opportunity to acquire large freehold industrial & manufacturing facility with expansion potential adjacent to Junction 37 of the M1.
The property comprises a substantial industrial manufacturing facility arranged across two detached units, providing a highly versatile facility that's purpose-built to support large-scale industrial operations. Both warehouses are of steel portal frame construction with insulated clad elevations and roofing systems incorporating extensive roof lights, creating bright and efficient working environments with excellent levels of natural light throughout.
The southern unit called Warehouse 1 benefits from a prominent headquarters-style office frontage, featuring an impressive glazed reception area providing a mix of open-plan and private offices, meeting rooms and staff welfare facilities. The adjoining warehouse space offers extensive production
and storage accommodation, incorporating concrete floors with service pits and a layout designed to support a variety of manufacturing processes.
The northern unit called Warehouse 2 provides further high quality industrial accommodation of a similar specification, offering expansive warehouse and production space together with ancillary offices, welfare facilities and mezzanine accommodation. The flexible layout is ideally suited to manufacturing, engineering, logistics and distribution occupiers, while also providing scope for adaptation to meet specific operational requirements.
Externally, the property benefits from generous staff and visitor parking, a dedicated service road linking the two units, extensive service yard areas and a smaller self-contained warehouse currently used as an oil store. Access is via Elmhirst Lane and Whinby Road, with the site benefiting from perimeter fencing and a secure gated entrance with a dedicated security gatehouse.
The combination of modern manufacturing accommodation, secure site infrastructure and substantial expansion land provides a rare opportunity for owner-occupiers, investors or businesses seeking future growth potential.
