This is a Grade A industrial and logistics opportunity at The Hop Exchange in Paddock Wood, offered freehold. The scheme provides flexible unit sizes (from 3,500 to large-format 195,381 sq ft) with portal-frame, clear-span construction, up to 10m internal eaves (Unit 7), dock-level loading, and 50 kN/m² floor loading — features that suit distribution, light manufacturing or last-mile fulfilment operators.
Specification-focused features include fitted first-floor offices (approx. 10–12.5%), LED lighting, 15% GRP rooflight coverage, EV charging, bike racks, showers, generous forecourts and parking, and unrestricted 24/7 access. Projected sustainability ratings are strong (BREEAM ‘Very Good’, EPC A), and the scheme allows unit subdivision to match occupier requirements.
Buyers should note material considerations: local recorded crime rates are high, broadband speeds are slow, and primary heating is electric storage heaters. The listing describes the development as new build, but some records indicate older construction details — this discrepancy should be confirmed. The site footprint and generous yards suit operators needing external manoeuvring and storage, but occupiers requiring high-speed fixed-line broadband should plan upgrades.
Overall, this is a well-specified, flexible logistics asset in a growing industrial location with strong sustainability credentials and excellent access to the A228. It will suit investors or occupational users seeking a large, modern warehouse with potential to subdivide — subject to due diligence on services and local infrastructure.
