Bridge Farm, London Road, Braintree, Essex, CM7
Description
Commercial Redevelopment Opportunity – Prominent Site on London Road, Braintree
Description
The site is prominently located at the bottom of London Road, Braintree, close to its junction with the A120. Forming part of the established Bridge Farm garage/yard, the site occupies a position at the front of the premises, providing good visibility from London Road.
Historically, the property was occupied by a stone mason, with the existing single-storey, largely timber-framed building having been used as a workshop.
The existing building now offers an opportunity for refurbishment or redevelopment, and the property is being offered to the market as a commercial site with approximately 3–4 parking spaces.
The site is situated within an established commercial location, with surrounding residential estates and excellent access to the A120, making it an attractive opportunity for a range of commercial, workshop or redevelopment uses, subject to the necessary planning consents.
Total site area is 1341.52 st ft
Building is 500 sq ft approx.
