Summary - Rodney Way, Widford Industrial Estate, Chelmsford, Essex, CM1 CM1 3BY
1 bed 1 bath Light Industrial
Spacious industrial base with significant mezzanine and on-site parking, close to Chelmsford.
Freehold detached light industrial unit, 23,064 sq ft total.
A rare freehold light industrial unit close to Chelmsford city centre, offered with vacant possession. The detached steel-framed building extends to 23,064 sq ft, combining extensive ground-floor workshop/production areas, a large mezzanine and two-storey office accommodation with a dedicated first-floor reception. Practical features such as three-phase power, air-conditioned offices and an EPC Band B rating support a wide range of commercial uses.
The site includes a surfaced, secure forecourt with space for around 25 vehicles and a roller loading door, making the asset suitable for light manufacturing, storage/distribution or trade counter operations (subject to planning). Good road links to the A12, M25 and Chelmsford station (c. 2 miles) make the location convenient for staff and distribution routes.
Buyers should note the building’s age and its evolution by extensions and a mezzanine — internal clearances are reduced beneath the mezzanine (minimum 2.6m) and the main loading door is 2.4m x 3.0m. There are also reported roof issues in the estate imagery and the property sits on a relatively modest plot for the floor area (c. 0.66 acre), which may limit external yard expansion. Annual business rates are material (rateable value £135,000; estimated rates c. £74,925 for 2025/26).
This is a clear opportunity for an investor or an owner-occupier seeking a spacious, well-located industrial base with immediate parking and service connectivity. The freehold title and vacant possession simplify acquisition, but practical survey work and planning checks are advised to confirm suitability for specific operational needs.
