Business Summary

SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION

The property is located approximately 2 miles east of Christchurch Town Centre on the Airfield Industrial Estate. The estate has good road communications into Christchurch Town Centre and further afield via the A35 Lyndhurst Road heading east into the New Forest or West towards Bournemouth and Poole. The industrial Estate is accessed via Somerford Road.

The accommodation comprises a traditional industrial building of steel portal frame construction with brick elevations at ground floor level and corrugated steel cladding to the upper elevations under a pitched roof. The main building is divided into two areas both of which are serviced by separate roller shutter door access. The rear area has a mezzanine floor over part. There are offices to the side of the main building which comprises reception and staff canteen on ground floor, three offices on first floor along with two cloakrooms. Outside the whole site is tarmacked hardstanding. There is a car port under the first floor offices offering some additional parking. The car port could fairly easily be adapted to provide further offices space if required.

The land is held by way of a ground lease from 3rd February 1989 for a term expiring 31st August 2104 at a passing rent of £7,708 p.a.. The lease allows the tenant to use the land for industrial uses only. The lease is subject to 5 yearly rent reviews with the rent being calculated as the market rent for industrial land rather than the value of any buildings built on the land.

A rent deposit of 3 months rent will be required for any letting.
