Description

The property comprises a two-storey detached office building, likely constructed in the 1970s. It provides accommodation arranged over ground and first floors with extensive parking. The ground floor features a reception area, openplan offices to the right hand side and a number of cellular offices to the left hand side of the building. The central core, located to the rear, provides male and female WCs and an internal staircase ascending to the first floor. A rear exit leads to the car park.

The first floor comprises additional male and female WCs, a kitchen and primarily open-plan accommodation with some lightweight, glazed partitioning. The accommodation presents well throughout, with raised carpeted floors, suspended ceilings and air-conditioning cassettes.
Externally, car parking for up to 29 vehicles, at an excellent ratio of 1:277sq ft, is provided around the building and includes a barrier entry system to the rear.

Asset Management

The building lends itself to a variety of potential uses including offices, residential and other alternative uses such as day care nurseries. With specific reference to day care nurseries, we are aware of a multinational operator, in tandem with an investor/developer, that had previously agreed terms to acquire the building on a leasehold basis, subject to Landlord works to provide turn-key accommodation. We understand the nursery operator still wants to acquire the premises on a leasehold basis. Further details can be provided on request. The property may be suited to residential accommodation, either by way of permitted development or, a comprehensive redevelopment of the site. Being situated on a corner site, with a modern, taller, mixed use block directly opposite, there may be an opportunity to increase the massing on the current site, subject to obtaining necessary planning consents. Alternatively, the building presents well and could be retained as offices, either for an investor or an owner occupier.
