A substantial detached production and warehouse unit occupying about 1.7 acres on Altham Industrial Estate, offering 27,855 sq ft of operational space with generous external yard and marked parking. The building is steel portal frame construction with two-storey frontal offices, three dock-level doors and a ramped drive-in, making it well-suited to distribution, light manufacturing or storage operations. Variable eaves of 4.0–8.2 metres and robust concrete floor provide flexibility for racking, machinery or internal layouts.
The site benefits from excellent motorway access, approximately 1.5 miles south of Junction 8 of the M65, and sits among established industrial occupiers. Services include high-intensity sodium and LED lighting; office accommodation is fitted at ground and first floor with a mix of open-plan and cellular rooms, canteen and WCs. The current mezzanine is noted as in situ but will be removed, and the internal fit-out/removable items are excluded from the sale.
Externally the tarmacadam yard and wide frontage accommodate HGV turning, loading and external storage, and the site can be extended to the side (see plan). The property is offered freehold, presenting a long-term owner-occupier or investor opportunity in a well-connected industrial park. Buyers should note the estate setting provides functional operational outlook only — there are no scenic views.
Practical considerations: office finishes are average in standard, and some adjustment or refurbishment may be wanted to suit specific occupier needs. The plot’s scale and layout deliver immediate operational capacity with scope for expansion subject to planning.
