Location
Havenside is located within the commercial dock region of Boston and to the east of the town centre. Boston is a market town close to the south east coast of Lincolnshire and approximately 120 miles directly north of London and 32 miles south east of Lincoln. The historic and attractive market town of Boston has recently seen considerable redevelopment and maintains itself as a busy commercial centre. The port of Boston has a long history of agricultural and timber import and export and in the early 1990’s the port was privatised and expanded to handle steel and paper imports from Northern Europe. The port of Boston has a new freight rail link which sees two trains per week carrying a thousand tonnes of steel per train from Boston to dedicated automotive facilities in Birmingham.
The property is accessed via Fishtoft Road with the main access adjacent to a modern residential development. The site is also abutted by agricultural land and other employment users.
