PROMINENT INDUSTRIAL UNIT IN THE CENTRE OF SITTINGBOURNE

Property description

The building is predominantly an open plan engineering workshop, and attached at the front is a two storey office building with reception and staff facilities.
The workshop is predominantly an older building with brick and block walls with a roof clad with profiled sheeting lined internally and incorporating roof lights providing natural lighting. The roof is supported by a lattice frame. The height to the underside of the lattice frame is approx. 20' (6.1m). To the rear is a 2 bay modern extension with block low walls to a height of about 6'6" (2 m) and a steel frame above clad to the walls and roof with insulated and profiled steel sheeting and translucent rooflight panels. There are two gantry cranes (one marked SWL 5 Ton). Along both flank walls there are large windows providing natural lighting. There is a small change in internal floor levels between the front main workshop and rear workshop area. The workshop has a Benson gas fired blower heater. There is access from the front by way of a steel roller shutter 12' (3.7m) wide x 16' 6" (5.1 m) high and from the side by way of low recessed doors set into the modern rear extension.

To the front and linked to the workshop is the two storey office and staff facilities, constructed with brick elevations, beneath a flat roof. The offices have gas fired central heating.

There is a forecourt to the front of the unit with an electricity substation for the workshop and a vehicular access along the southern elevation.
It is a very secure site being bounded on three sides by the railway embankment, the fire station and the former ambulance station.
