Description
The building is of reasonably modern construction consisting of steel frame with insulated cladding to the walls and roof. The unit has been fitted out with wall linings, carpets and ceilings to create separate spaces and has recently had the electrical installation upgraded. There is an external yard with rights to park vehicles in front of the units.
The existing use class is understood to be for industrial units although Unit 2 has benefited from a restricted retail consent in the past. The property could be suitable for various alternative uses (subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents).
Accommodation
Merchants Quay is accessed from Pennygillam Way, which is the primary arterial route through the estate with a busy flow of traffic passing. A shared level concrete compound/yard space in front of the unit provides reasonably level access onto Pennygillam Way. The building is accessed from the parking area via two sets of glazed double doors. The main open plan area includes slatwall panels in some areas (for hanging merchandise) and a false ceiling with integral ceiling lights. The false ceiling is insulated above. There is a small room off the main area which could be suitable for office or storage. A larger room, which could be suitable for production or storage is accessed from double doors off the main area. The unit is partially carpeted and includes an air conditioning/heating unit in Unit 1 (note the air conditioning/heater unit has not been tested by the Landlord or agent). The area above Unit 2 has been fitted out with floor joists making it potentially possible to use this area for additional storage or accommodation (subject to compliance with relevant laws). The internal ceiling height at ground floor is approximately 2.54m from floor. If the units were stripped out to return the units to full height industrial/warehouse premises, it is estimated there is approximately 5.12m to eaves and 5.84m. to ridge. There are 2No. roller shutter doors above the glazed entrance doors, which could potentially be reinstated if the units were stripped out (subject to checking serviceability).
