A substantial modern steel portal-frame industrial unit extending to 14,655 sq ft, positioned on Carlinghurst Road at the edge of Blackburn town centre. The building combines two-storey offices and large workshop space with high eaves (4.53m to apex 8.26m), a wide concertina loading door, solid concrete floor and substantial external hardstanding suitable for HGVs and servicing. LED lighting, Ambi‑Rad heating and a large mains power supply make the unit ready for light manufacturing, storage or distribution use.
The front offices are split between cellular and open-plan accommodation across two floors, with WC and kitchen facilities, gas central heating, CAT5 wiring and double glazing. The site benefits from secure off-street parking and good access to Junction 4 of the M65 (approximately 3 miles), supporting efficient logistics for an operating business.
Notable considerations are material and location-related: the original cement asbestos roof has been overclad with steel profile sheeting (asbestos remains in the original panels), the postcode area records high flood risk, and the wider neighbourhood shows very high crime levels and significant deprivation. VAT is applicable; the property is available on a new full repairing and insuring lease (minimum five years). Potential occupiers or investors should factor in roof/contamination risk management, security measures, and insurance implications when budgeting.
For an investor or owner-occupier seeking a large, well-serviced industrial building with immediate vehicle access and logistics capability, this asset offers scale and practical specification but requires due diligence on the asbestos roofing, flood exposure and local socio-economic challenges.
