Summary - THREE M ( 3M ) (UK) PLC, RATCLIFFE ROAD CV9 1PJ
1 bed 1 bath Industrial Park
Major industrial site with high power capacity and strong motorway links.
Freehold industrial site totalling 239,992 sq ft on c.26.94 acres
A substantial freehold industrial park on Ratcliffe Road, formerly a large-scale manufacturing site, offers 239,992 sq ft of buildings across c.26.94 acres. The main warehouse benefits from a new roof, steel portal frame with clear heights from 6.65m to 7.8m and eight dock-loading doors with canopy, complemented by a modern R&D unit and two-storey offices. Site power capacity is strong — up to 5 MVA — supporting heavy industrial or logistics uses. Vacant possession and direct access from the A5/Motorway network make the site operationally attractive for occupiers or large-scale investors.
The expansive external yard and low site density (20%) create clear scope for yard operations, expansion, or redevelopment (subject to planning). Practical positives include forklift-level access doors, part concrete construction, and a recent main roof replacement that reduces near-term capital expenditure. The property’s scale and connectivity suit logistics, manufacturing relocation, or conversion to multi-operator industrial units.
Material considerations are explicit: the site’s former heavy manufacturing use means a potential for contamination or legacy environmental liabilities — buyers must commission full environmental and ground investigations. Parts of the estate include temporary/low-ceiling modular buildings with limited utility; these may require removal or refurbishment. The surrounding area shows socioeconomic deprivation and average local crime statistics; while this supplies an available local workforce, it may influence staffing, security and community planning.
This opportunity suits investors or owner-occupiers prepared for site-specific due diligence and potential remediation. The combination of high power availability, substantial footprint and motorway links gives a clear platform for industrial, logistics or redevelopment projects, provided buyers account for environmental, planning and refurbishment costs.
