Former Fencing Works, R/o 62-68 Birling Road, Ashford, Kent, TN24

This site of just under 1/5th acre has buildings along the north-western boundary, with the remainder of the site being laid to open yard. The larger of the two workshops is of steel portal frame and provides some 2,100 sq.ft. of accommodation in four bays. It benefits from a concrete floor, skylights within the roof and some artificial lighting. The eaves height is 13ft 5in rising to an apex of 16ft 2in and is accessed via double sliding steel doors some 15ft wide to the eaves height. The workship has two WCs and currently contains a small office area of around 90 sq.ft. with a similar sized mess room having light mezzanine storage over.
The smaller workshop lying to the south of the larger one is of pre-cast concrete portal frame construction and provides a little over 900 sq.ft. of accommodation, having an eaves height of some 15ft 2in rising to an apex of 18ft 10in. It is accessed by a double timber door some 13ft wide by 14ft 6in high. This workshop has the benefit of a concrete floor, skylights within the roof and fluouresecent strip lights.
In the yard there is a fairly rough and ready timber construction of mono pitch design providing some 400 sq.ft. of accommodation having a minimum eaves height of 6ft. This building has probable exceeded its economic lifespan.
The remaining yard area is laid to concrete hardstanding and is securely fenced to all boundaries.
