Description
NUMBER ONE is a substantial and impressive three storey late Georgian property of some 11,000 sq.ft, set in mature landscaped gardens alongside extensive parking. The largely open plan offices are accessible via their own ground floor entrance. The offices have exclusive toilet facilities. The surrounding land and gardens provide a peaceful and relaxing setting for people working in the buildings to enjoy breaks.
NUMBER ONE has been predominantly full to capacity since refurbishment but a rare opportunity to occupy part of the property (Unit 2) has arisen.
Accommodation
Access is via a ground floor entrance lobby which leads to a stairway up to the first floor. There is an additional door leading to an external metal fire escape to the rear of the property.
From the top of the stairs the open plan office space (Office 1) is to the left. There is a corridor to the right leading to a Staff Room, Office 2 and two WC’s. There is a gas boiler in a cupboard of Office 2 which provides hot water and heating to the unit. The unit includes generously sized windows providing good levels of natural light and ventilation. There are extensive car parking facilities on site; the number of parking bays required can be negotiated.
There is additional land within the site that could be utilised for further office development or additional temporary accommodation to enable tenants to grow if required.
