The property comprises a substantial four-storey building of flat-roofed brick construction and provides a mix of open-plan and partitioned office accommodation on the four floors with access through a ground floor reception area with lifts providing additional links to the upper levels.
The accommodation has suspended ceilings with recessed lighting in various areas, male and female toilet facilities on each level and heated throughout by a gas-fired system.
Previously occupied by a multi-national company, the property is now surplus to operational requirements and its availability offers an ideal opportunity for a company with a headquarters requirement to acquire premises in a highly prominent fringe of town centre position with good access for the general public.
The building is also likely to be of interest to developers specialising in the conversion of this type of property to provide residential units or, alternatively, those interested in the possibility of purchase for demolition and redevelopment of the cleared site for commercial purposes.
VACANT POSSESSION WILL BE GIVEN ON COMPLETION.
