Former Waterdell Nurseries is prominently located off Chequers Lane, in the northern part of Watford, Hertfordshire. The site offers excellent strategic connectivity, situated within close proximity to major motorway links. Junction 6 of the M1 motorway is approximately 1.5 miles away, providing direct access to Central London to the south and the M25 to the north. The M25 orbital motorway, which lies approximately 3 miles away (Junction 21A), offers access to wider motorway networks including the M40, M11, and M4. This location ensures outstanding vehicular connectivity for regional and national distribution and storage requirements.
