4 DESCRIPTION The property was principally constructed in the early 1980s as a corporate headquarters manufacturing and warehouse facility. It has remained in the same ownership since its construction and has been maintained to a high standard. The site benefits from a main entrance giving access to the two storey administration office building at the front. This benefits from being carpeted, lit and heated and has reception areas, WCs and a large canteen facility. Visitors parking is available outside. The administration facility is linked to the warehouse via two walkways. To the rear of the site is a portal frame warehouse facility that has been extended. This is currently fitted with extensive mezzanine floor areas. These can be removed if required. The original warehouse area is currently divided into two, with a maximum eaves height of approximately 8.0m. At the eastern end of the warehouse there is a high bay warehouse extension, currently fitted with two levels of mezzanine storage. Ignoring this storage the eaves height of this is approximately 11.5m. To the rear warehouse area there is a dispatch and loading area benefiting from 8 loading doors, 4 of which are dock level and 3 with a scissor lift facility and one surface level. Within the warehouse area there is additional administration and works offices fitted, together with WC. Externally, the site benefits from a rear commercial vehicle access from Crompton Road. The site benefits from large on site car parking facilities, a rear loading and service yard. The site has expansion land offering the opportunity to extend the facility subject to planning permission. Full CAD drawings can be downloaded on the accommodation page.
