The subjects comprise a stone/brick built industrial unit surmounted by a pitched and corrugated cement sheet roof supported on a light steel A frame truss system. The external walls have been harled and are coated in a paint finish with access being taken by way of a roller shutter door leading directly into the workshop area, which is approximately 3.7 m high by 4.4 m wide. Adjacent to this access can be taken through an aluminium framed and double glazed entrance, which also benefits from a full height display window and gives access into the trade counter/office section of the property.
Internally the overall building has been sectioned into a few main areas to include the aforementioned workshop and trade counter/office accommodation and further ancillary storage can be found on the mezzanine level.
The workshop is laid out to provide an open plan space with a solid concrete floor pad, brick walls with a mixture of paint and unpainted finish. Natural daylight is afforded into this section of the unit via translucent plastic roof panels. Artificial lighting is provided by way of pendant/fluorescent light fittings dependent upon location and the unit also benefits from 3 phase power outlet.
Also within the workshop is further basic office accommodation as well as a wc facility and washing area for the staff.
The trade counter/storage area is laid out to provide a reception area to the front for customers, with a built in trade counter and the rest being an open plan storage area. This section is constructed by way of a suspended timber floor with a carpet tile overlay finish to the public section and hardwood flooring to the rear, the walls being stud lined with plaster and paint finish and the ceiling being of suspended nature which sits underneath the mezzanine level.
Artificial lighting is provided by fluorescent strip lights with natural daylighting afforded into this section by a large aluminium framed and double glazed show room style entrance door.
The office section is accessed just off this and comprises two offices, a tea preparation area and wc facilities.
The mezzanine level is accessed by a timber staircase to the rear elevation of the premises and provides open plan space for storage. However it should be noted that the metal rafters/Apexes do run through this space, though none the less this does provide extra storage accommodation.
