The building is believed to date from the 1920’s and comprises part of the former Royal Mail Vehicle Depot that was acquired by developers in 1996 and divided up into 7 self contained commercial units. Six of these units are approached off Beechnut Road via St Michaels Road. The whole complex is constructed of 13” solid brick walls with concrete floors and in the case of Unit 7 a new sloping plastic coated metal roof which has been overlaid on the original asphalt roof and insulated. The property opens on three sides and abuts Unit 6 on its northern boundary.
The building is arranged on ground and first floors, with a number of metal fixed Crittal pane windows to the ground floor and UVPC sealed double glazed window units to the first floor at front, side and rear elevations.
The ground floor has been divided into two store rooms and a workshop with small stair cupboard, concrete staircase leading to first floor providing two large open plan offices sandwiching the staircase and ladies and gents WC facilities.
Location
The property is situated at the end of the Beechnut Industrial Estate bounded between the railway embankment and the backs of private housing fronting St Georges Road. Access is via Beechnut Road a turning off St Michaels Road which links High Street Aldershot with Church Lane East. Within a very short distance of the property is the Aldershot main line railway station providing a fast and frequent train service to London (fastest time Waterloo 45 minutes) and Aldershot bus station.
