This substantial two-storey office building on the Meadway campus offers a rare large-footprint investment in central Stevenage. Part of the ground floor is let at £31,956 per annum, providing immediate income, while the remainder offers flexible space for re-letting or owner occupation. The campus setting, on-site parking and fast rail links to London add tangible occupational appeal.
The specification is practical and modern: raised access floors, suspended ceilings with recessed LED lighting, comfort cooling, lift access and kitchen/WC facilities on each floor. Constructed in 1991 with a pitched tiled roof and brick exterior, the building is described as low-maintenance but will require routine lifecycle upkeep consistent with its age.
Key transactional considerations: the freehold/leasehold tenure is not stated and should be checked, full tenancy schedules and service charge arrangements must be reviewed, and legal costs are each party’s responsibility. Broadband speeds are reported as very slow, which could deter high-bandwidth occupiers without on-site upgrades.
Positioned close to major employers, Stevenage station and road links, the property suits investors seeking immediate rental income and future reversionary potential, or occupiers needing a large, adaptable office footprint in a well-established commercial campus. EPC rating B (44) supports energy efficiency credentials but verify recent service records before exchange.
