The premises comprise a detached warehouse/distribution unit of steel portal frame construction, to 6m eaves, with profile metal cladding to walls and roof. In addition, there is a 2 storey office building again of steel frame construction with glazed infill panel walling under a flat roof providing a variety of offices, showroom, staff and welfare facilities.
The unit benefits from 9 electrically operated roller shutter doors split between both front and rear elevations. All mains services are available to the property. Externally, there is an extensive yard, to front, side and rear of the unit mainly concreted, part hardstanding, extending in total to approximately 0.89 acres.
Car parking is also contained within the site which is entirely enclosed by a chain link fence and security gates. Total site area is 1.77 acres. An overflow car park is available immediately adjacent, entered off the main access from West Mains Road.
Location
The subject premises occupy an extremely prominent corner site at the entrance to the long established West Mains Industrial Estate off the A904 Falkirk Road. It is immediately adjacent to the Earlsgate Roundabout which forms Junction 6 of the M9 motorway.
Accessibility will be enhanced even further when the current road improvement works, upgrading the dual carriageway to Falkirk Road, as well as incorporating a new roundabout at its junction with West Mains Road, are completed.
The immediately surrounding area is one of the most recognised and well established locations for warehousing and distribution within the Central Belt of Scotland. The strategic importance of the location is emphasised by the instant access to the M9 and thereafter the remainder of the Scottish motorway network – M876/M80 Glasgow; M9/A9 Stirling/north; M9/M8 Edinburgh; M90/Queensferry Crossing Fife/Dundee.
Edinburgh Airport is only 27 miles east and Forth Ports Grangemouth facilities is less than a mile north.
The popularity of the location is clearly reflected in the number of major national occupiers immediately adjacent including Malcolm Logistics, Whyte & Mackay, Asda, Speedy Hire, MGM Timber, Arnold Clark, Evans Halshaw and Enterprise Car & Van Hire.
Falkirk and Grangemouth town centres are within easy reach and other nearby amenities include McDonald’s and a BP/M&S Food service station, as well as the Helix and Kelpies visitor attractions.
