Description

Units 5 and 6 form a self-contained commercial building within Manor Commercial Centre, a small established development of similar commercial properties arranged within an enclosed site. The units have their own forecourt area providing parking and access to the loading doors.

The building is of steel-frame construction with blockwork and profile-metal-clad elevations beneath a pitched, insulated metal-sheet roof incorporating translucent roof panels. Internally, the ground floor has a solid floor with a full mezzanine above, supported by exposed steel columns and beams. The two units are presently divided at ground-floor level but operate as one combined property.

The ground floor is divided by a partition wall, enabling the units to function separately while remaining connected. Each has its own entrance, electricity supply and manual roller-shutter loading door, approximately 10 ft 9 ins high by 10 ft 8 ins wide, together with electric security shutters to the personnel entrances. Unit 5 is mainly used for storage, while Unit 6 provides office space, a WC and basic staff facilities. The height beneath the mezzanine is approximately 8 ft 4 ins. There is no gas supply, with point-of-use water heaters serving the taps.

A staircase within Unit 6 leads to the predominantly open-plan mezzanine extending across both units. Apart from the central staircase enclosure, the space is largely uninterrupted and benefits from natural light through translucent roof panels.

Manor Commercial Centre is situated on Commercial Road within an established commercial area in South Reading. Bennet Road and the A33 Reading Relief Road are nearby, providing easy access to Reading town centre and Junction 11 of the M4, approximately one mile to the south. The M4 provides direct connections towards London, Heathrow and the wider motorway network. LoopNet

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.
