The subject property comprises an extensive site, forming part of a former colliery which was operational until the late 1960s. Since then, the majority of the operational site has been used for concrete products manufacturing and open storage. Part of the site has an operational asphalt plant (which can be relocated off-site if full vacant possession is required) and part is leased out on a short-term basis. A small area of unused / undeveloped land is under historical third party ownership with a right of access.
The site provides large areas of hard surfacing and has a drainage pond system in place for surface water attenuation. The western area of the site consists of natural tree / vegetation growth.
The property has a mains water supply and two electrical supplies which provide a combined significant capacity in excess of 1,500 kVA.
Location
Chryston Works is located on the western edge of the town of Moodiesburn, approximately 5 miles north-west of Glasgow. The location is convenient for access to the nearby M80 and M73 motorways.
