Description
The North Factory has been developed in three principal sections. The original building is of single-storey steel frame construction with brick elevations, beneath a pitched corrugated roof, with an eaves height of circa 3.18 m.
Adjoining this is a more modern two-storey extension of steel frame construction beneath a pitched insulated clad roof. Both floors are of solid concrete construction. The ground floor provides open-plan production accommodation with an eaves height of approximately 3.5 m, linking directly to the original factory, whilst the first floor provides high-quality air-conditioned office and welfare facilities together with additional storage. Loading is via a roller shutter door at ground floor level and a smaller loading door to the first floor.
To the front is a further single-storey brick extension beneath a flat roof, internally partitioned to provide a number of individual rooms, including a spray room. A lean-to store has also been constructed to the other side of the building.
The property occupiers a promient position on Clarkes Road, Wigston, an established industrial location, lying some 4.5 miles south of Leicester City Centre, close to the Chartwell Trading Estate and Pullman Road.
The outer ring road (A563) is accessible approximately 1 miles away, providing swift access to all other parts of the city and the M1 / M69 intersection approximately 3.5 miles to the west. The immediate locality offers a mix of industrial and residential accommodation, the latter providing good access to the local labour pool.
The South Wigston Railway Station is approximately 1 mile in distance providing access to the Cross Country Rail Service for travel to Leicester or Birmingham New Street.

Flood Risk
Environment Agency open data, checked around the advertised map pin for the listed acreage. Long-term risk counts flood defences; the planning map's flood zones do not. The map pin for this listing marks the postcode area rather than the exact location, so these readings describe the surrounding area. Provided by LandSale, not the listing agent, and not part of the agent's particulars. Risk varies across a holding, so verify before committing.
