The property enjoys a commanding frontage in excess of 50ft on the London Road on the outskirts of Hook. The site has been the location of car sales for in excess of 50 years and with a petrol filling station to one side and motor related businesses to the other side, the site is considered ideal for ongoing use for the motor trade or other uses – subject to planning.
Location
The property enjoys a commanding frontage to the A30 London Road on the outskirts of Hook and well placed for easy access to the M3, Junction 5 just to the south. Hook is described as a small town in North Hampshire and at the time of the last census, had a population of just under 8,000.

On this occasion the Rateable Value is identified at £11,750.

LOCAL AUTHORITY AND PLANNING: The property is within the administration area of the Hart District Council, Civic Offices, Harlington Way, Fleet GU51 4AE.
VIEWING: We shall be pleased to meet prospective purchasers at the property by appointment but we rather expect most will be willing to visit the site unaccompanied. We always ask in those circumstances that consideration is given to neighbours enjoyment of their property.
NB There is a pedestrian gate between the car sales premises i.e. the property we are selling and the bungalow (Apex Bungalow) at the rear. This gateway is locked and there will be no access through it in the future.
