Light Industrial to rent

LOCATION
Marshall Road forms part of the Valley Road / Cot Hil location, being approximately 0.75 miles from Marsh Mills roundabout (A38 Devon Expressway) and 4 miles from Plymouth City Centre. The property therefore has excellent accessibility via the B3416 Plymouth Road to the local and regional road network. The estate comprises a mixture of distribution, car retail, trade counter and retail occupiers. Nearby occupiers include Plumb Centre, Sanderson Motorhouse and McArthur Group.

DESCRIPTION
The property is a detached distribution warehouse originally built in the mid 1970’s and subsequently extended to the east and north, with a large front facing yard and associating parking / circulation areas. The main railway line is directly to the north.

The building is of steel frame construction with all elevations covered in PVC sheet steel cladding. The roof is covered with cement fibre sheets which have now been overclad with PVC double skin sheets. The warehouse has a solid concrete floor and the later extension is higher and therefore there is a level differential, which is overcome by metal rampsto allow forklift access. The internal eaves height is 5.64 m (18’6).

The original loading canopy from the railway was enclosed to provide more office and staff accommodation. This space has carpeted concrete floors, suspended ceilings with recessed fluorescent light fittings, ducted heating and perimeter trunking. We understand that all mains services are connected to the property.

Externally, there is a large tarmac yard to the front of the three roller shutter loading doors, a concrete surfaced area to the west side used for staff parking and a stone chipped area to the east side.
