Description

Location

He property is prominently situated on Davyfield Road, within an established and popular industrial and warehouse location on the outskirts of Blackburn.

The property benefits from excellent road connectivity, with Junction 5 of the M65 motorway approximately 1 mile away, providing convenient access to the wider regional and national motorway network.

The surrounding area is home to a number of established industrial and distribution occupiers, including Navigator Tissue, Staci and Sally Distribution, amongst others, reinforcing the location as a well-established commercial and logistics destination.

Description

The property comprises a substantial detached warehouse facility extending to approximately 28,758 sq ft, set within a generous site of approximately 1.56 acres.

The building is of steel portal frame construction, with insulated profile-clad elevations and roof incorporating translucent roof panels, providing good levels of natural light throughout the warehouse accommodation.

Internally, the warehouse provides an eaves height of approximately 5.25 metres, rising to 8 metres at the apex. Loading access is provided via two roller shutter doors. The warehouse is currently arranged across three separate bays, although the internal dividing walls are non-structural and could be removed relatively easily to create a larger, more open-plan warehouse area if required.

The warehouse accommodation benefits from fluorescent lighting and gas-fired heating and is generally presented in good condition.

The office accommodation is positioned along the southern elevation and is predominantly open plan, complemented by a large boardroom, additional meeting room and directors' offices. The offices have been finished to a good standard and benefit from WC facilities, Cat 5 data cabling and suspended ceilings.

Externally, the property benefits from a substantial hardstanding yard of approximately 0.55 acres, providing generous loading, circulation and external storage space. Further grassed areas are situated within the site boundary and may offer potential to create additional hardstanding or yard space, subject to any necessary consents.
