A substantial warehouse and office complex occupying 1.70 acres in a well-established estate, offering 36,455 sqft of flexible industrial space and a two-storey office block of 6,877 sqft. The steel-framed building has solid brick elevations, an insulated metal roof with rooflights and an eaves height of approximately 5.5m, making it suitable for storage, distribution or light manufacturing. Loading is practical via two roller shutters to the despatch bay and an additional electrically operated side shutter. Mains water, electricity and drainage are connected; EPC rating D (83).
The site’s size and layout give good external manoeuvring and parking for HGVs and deliveries. Location benefits include proximity to J37 of the M1 (about 1.5 miles) and access to Barnsley, Sheffield and Leeds via the regional road network, which supports logistical uses. Nearby occupiers include distribution and logistics operators, reinforcing the estate’s industrial character.
Notable considerations are the property’s EPC rating (D, 83) and a rateable value of £67,000, which will influence running costs and business rates. Broadband speeds are reported very slow — a material drawback for occupiers needing reliable high-speed connectivity. The broader area is classified as deprived with above-average crime figures; buyers should factor this into workforce, security and insurance planning. Tenure is unspecified and should be confirmed early in any due diligence.
This asset is likely to appeal to operators seeking a large, well-located depot or investors targeting industrial estate income. There is potential for operational improvement or refurbishment to increase energy performance and letability, but buyers should budget for works to raise the EPC and for any tenant-fit costs.
