The property comprises a pair of interconnecting warehouse buildings, constructed with a combination of steel portal frame and truss roof structures. The elevations are predominantly brick and profiled steel sheet clad, beneath pitched asbestos roofs incorporating translucent roof panels, which have been re-clad in recent years.

The property occupies a level, fenced and secure site extending to approximately 2.51 acres (1.01 hectares), a site coverage of 19%.
We understand the property is connected to mains water, drainage and electricity, including a three-phase supply. The central heating system is oil-fired and supplied from a 2,500-litre DERV tank.
