Description

What a property! A significant regionally-renowned property which has undergone a remarkable transformation with the current owners making significant investment to the property. Immaculately presented and completed to exceptional specification throughout. No expense has been spared and no detail missed.

Directions
This property offers in excess of 70,000 sq. ft of commercial specification buildings and extensive concreted yard which in itself extends to in excess of 2.30 Acres, all enclosed by security fencing.

The current vendors had the vision to transform the former equestrian property into one of the most locally renowned events centres in the north and has been home to various events over the years. The vendors have made significant investment and improvements to the buildings and yard which have fantastic alternate use potential and provides a blank canvas for any purchaser now to benefit from the investments made.

The property is also for sale as a whole to include Residential Properties and 64 Acres of land (see separate Sales Details).

The Commercial Buildings and yard may also be available to rent as a whole subject to user, term and rental.

Valiants Buildings and Secure Yard

The refurbished commercial specification buildings which in total provide for in excess of 70,000 sq ft of covered space and make a great base for a variety of users. In line with rest of the property, the vendor has provided the highest specification possible for the portal frame buildings with fully insulated roofs, tensile strength purlins, newly laid laser level concrete, fully rewired, linked CCTV and all up to the latest fire regulations. Planning consent granted for storage and distribution.

The buildings all are inter-linked but have the added advantage of external roller shutter doors for easy open access which allows for sub-divisions for owner occupiers. The building complex also has an incredible first floor bar area which overlooks the main warehouse space. This is of exceptional quality and would fit in a high specification city-centre establishment. Bespoke cloakrooms, kitchen and store area complement the VIP bar area.

Former stables and barn give further opportunities for buyers to develop the remaining buildings (subject to gaining necessary planning consent) or to retain their equestrian use.

The buildings also have 720 newly installed solar panels providing 333kW capacity with accompanying battery storage which is contained and linked into the plant room and shortly to be connected to ENW local grid. This will provide a valuable income.

The expansive newly laid concrete yard which has also been future proofed with underground ducting and drainage channels and fully enclosed with palisade security fencing extends to in excess of 2.30 acres making this an exceptional outdoor space for many type of businesses. In addition there is a refurbished mobile office and static caravan providing flexible office facilities.

The yard has the benefit of an improved access off Lancaster Road with security gating.
