A rare freehold light-industrial unit set on just over 1 acre in Markyate, offered with vacant possession. The detached warehouse provides a large clear-span space with an eaves height of 5.15 metres, two level-access loading doors and an internal dividing doorway. Two-storey offices at the north end include open-plan and individual offices, studio space, kitchen and WC facilities — useful for an occupier needing combined workshop and administrative areas.
The site’s large yard and vehicle access from London Road create practical loading, parking and storage opportunities. The location is well connected: about 2 miles from J9 of the M1, roughly 7 miles from Luton Airport and close to nearby towns including Hemel Hempstead, Dunstable and Luton. The surrounding area is predominantly residential, in a very affluent, low-crime small-town setting with good mobile signal and average broadband.
For investors or developers the plot offers clear potential: there is scope to increase massing or pursue residential redevelopment, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents (no permissions are currently granted). The vacant possession and freehold tenure simplify control of the asset, but any change of use, additional floorspace or residential conversion will require formal planning and possibly consultation with local authorities.
Practical considerations are straightforward but important. The property appears functional as industrial accommodation but may need refurbishment to suit new occupiers or to meet residential conversion standards. No hours-of-use restrictions are understood, however detailed utilities, survey and planning due diligence will be required before committing to redevelopment.
