The accommodation extends to approximately 7,000 sq ft on a site of c. 0.75 acres most of which is laid as concrete hardstanding. The property, which benefits from flood lighting and is secured by way of fencing, currently generates a strong annual rental income with all tenants currently overholding on lapsed tenancy agreements (contact selling agents for details). The larger units are sub-metered with separate services installed. This element offers the purchaser the opportunity to enter into new formalised tenancies or explore redevelopment options for the business park (subject to planning). Vacancy levels have historically been very low in this popular business location. Obvious potential for owner occupiers to seek long term occupation subject to agreement in respect of the existing tenancy agreements. A planning report on the various units is available for information purposes only, but all interested parties should complete their own due diligence in this regard. Consideration may be given to sub-dividing the residential and commercial elements although both deals would need to transact simultaneously. Please contact the selling agents for further information.
