Description

Location
Situated on the outskirts of the busy historic north Cornish town of Launceston the site is positioned in one of the most prominent positions on Pennygillam Industrial Estate, just off Pennygillam Way.

Exeter, Plymouth and Truro are under an hour away by car.

Description
Martins Cash and Carry sits within an approximately 3.15 acre site (predominantly of concrete/tarmac/some unmade hardstanding) running parallel to Pennnygillam Way with numerous connected warehouses, a 2 storey office block and a cabin set within. The majority of the site is currently vacant although there is one tenant occupying the western end of the site on a three year contracted out lease. The site has significant development/refurbishment potential and could be suitable for various uses (subject to planning).

Accommodation (PLOTS 1&2)
Plot 1 is the most prominent part of the site and is predominantly of hardstanding with boundary fences and a large site entrance. A dividing fence will be required to separate Plot 1 from Plot 2 as well as blocking up of the roller doors to the building in Plot 2. Water and electricity supplies are required to this plot together with foul drainage. The Seller is seeking quotations from utilities companies for services up to the plot boundary from Pennygillam Way.

Plot 2 is in a prominent part of the site and is predominantly of hardstanding with boundary fences and a large recessed entrance. Dividing fences will be required to separate Plots 1 and 3 and the building will need to be blocked up internally to separate Plot 2 from Plots 1 and 3. There are separate water, electricity and foul services to the Cabin Building which can serve this plot. Plot 2 could potentially be combined with part of Plot 3 if more warehouse space is required. The office block to the front could potentially be sold separately together with the parking area accessed by Entrance 3.
