Main Description
Lot 1: Offers over £265,000
Lot 2: Offers over £130,000
Lot 3: Offers over £55,000
A broadly rectangular depot extending to approximately 1.71 ha (4.23 acres) separated into three distinct parcels, consisting of:
Lot 1 - Depot: A site to the western end extending to approximately 0.577 ha (1.43 acres). The principal access to this site is from the north west corner off the shared access from the road to the west which leads to Charlesfield farmhouse.
There is an office and workshop building in an ‘L’ shape to the south west corner with an adjoining Clear Span building providing garage bay with servicing pit together with a warehouse to the west.
The office/ storage building is of solid brick construction with a rendered external finish. The building has a re-enforced concrete flat roof with steel supporting structure, which has been over clad with a mono pitched roof finished in box-profile metal sheeting with metal box gutter to the rear and cast iron down pipes. This structure is interlinked to the workshop/ warehouse unit with a small in-fill lean-to extension providing a workshop between the offices and the warehouse.
The warehouse is of clear span concrete frame construction with external elevations and pitched roof finished in fibre cement corrugated sheeting. There are raised openings to the north elevation to the warehouse and the workshop providing vehicular access each with roller shutter doors. There is a further roller shutter door to the east elevation of the warehouse which would have provided access to the loading bay, but does not currently appear to be utilised.
Concrete surfaced yard areas cover much of the remainder of the site. The yard is terraced to the eastern side of the site with a retaining wall to the upper yard area. The lower section provides a wash bay complete with interceptor drain. There is a loading bay off the upper yard and the warehouse to the west.
The site is securely fenced with modern chain link security fencing.
A bund to the north east corner accommodates the above ground fuel tanks which are understood to have a capacity of c. 30,000 litres.
Lot 2 - Secure Yard: A broadly rectangular site bounded by chain link security fencing, accessed via a shared drive to the south. This site extends to c. 0.524 Ha (1.30 acre)
The yard is relatively level finished with a compacted hardcore surface with a concrete pad to the rear. There is a blockwork wall along the rear of this section of the site, beyond which there is a further triangle of land which banks up to the North.
Lot 3 - Secure Yard: Three General Purpose units of solid brick construction under flat roofs together with potential expansion ground to the rear of the site extending to c. 0.48 ha (1.21 acre), currently occupied by a soil bund. Total site area c. 0.609 Ha (1.50 acre).
The East Building provides two separate units. The Western most two bays were most recently occupied by a Haulage and Storage Business – one bay used as a garage and the other as a workshop complete with service ramp. This unit is accessed via a personnel door off the covered entrance lobby from the yard to the west (Lot 2). There is a roller shutter door to the front of the east bay and double sliding timber doors to the west bay.
The remainder of this building has not been occupied for some time. It has a large garage bay with double sliding timber vehicular access doors to the front elevation linking through to ancillary accommodation which would have comprised office, WC, four storage areas. There has been water ingress to this unit which would appear long standing. Remedial works will be required to make the unit watertight and upgrade the fabric of the building to bring it back in to occupation.
The West building is basic but serviceable with double sliding metal doors to the vehicular access to the east gable and a personnel door to the rear (East) elevation of the building.
The site is securely fenced with modern chain link security fencing.
