Land adjacent to Holiday Inn Express M27 JCT.7, Botley Road, West End, Southampton, SO30 3HA

Description
The Holiday Inn Express occupies the majority of the wider site. The subject land, located to the south, is surplus to the hotel’s operational requirements and is currently underutilised. The hotel comprises approximately 182 guest rooms and 160 on-site car parking spaces, serving both business and leisure demand given its proximity to the M27 and Utilita Bowl.

The site extends to approximately 0.386 acres, comprising predominantly surfaced car parking with grassed boundaries. The site has been cleared in reference for development. There is potential for the plot size to be extended, subject to further agreement (see below).

The land is broadly level and irregular in shape, set within a predominantly urban environment. Surrounding occupiers include David Lloyd Southampton and the Utilita Bowl, creating a strong leisure-led commercial destination.

Location
The site occupies a prominent corner position adjacent to Botley Road (B3035) and Marshall Drive, within the established commercial and leisure location of West End, Southampton.

West End lies approximately 6 miles north-east of Southampton city centre, 17 miles west of Portsmouth, and 16 miles south of Winchester, benefiting from excellent regional connectivity.

The property is situated immediately off Junction 7 of the M27, which provides direct east–west connectivity between Cadnam and Portsmouth and carries in excess of 140,000 vehicle movements per day. The M3 motorway, located approximately 6 miles north, provides further strategic access to Eastleigh, Winchester and the wider South East.

Southampton Airport is located approximately 3.6 miles west, offering domestic and international flights. Hedge End railway station is approximately 2 miles from the site, providing regular services along the South Coast and to London. Southampton Central Station is approximately 5 miles away and offers comprehensive national rail connections.
