Description

The property is made up of three elements, which all together lie prominently overlooking Saffron Way.

The main warehouse / production area is clad in profile sheeting but is constructed in brick and block work around a steel portal frame under a pitched insulated roof that incorporates GRP rooflights. Clear unencumbered floor space is provided, with a concrete floor throughout and loading facilitated by means of a roller shutter door within the front gable end that leads out onto the main yard.

Adjacent to the main warehouse lies an ancillary industrial property of similar portal frame construction and cladded elevations.

The main offices have been constructed more recently and provide two-storey accommodation that has been subdivided at each level to provide a useful arrangement of both private and more open plan office areas, all carpeted and decorated throughout with a suspended ceiling and recessed lighting. There are the usual arrangement of WC and kitchen facilities.

Externally, the property benefits from gated and secure off-road parking.
