Former Bar End Depot, Winchester, SO23 9NP

Description
The former Bar End Depot consists of six buildings occupying an area of 2.84 acres, benefitting from two entrance points and potential for an additional entrance to the south of the site. Access to the site is via secure gates leading to a one way system providing access to all buildings and exiting onto the same road, Bar End Road. The uses of the current buildings are a mix of office and industrial/warehouse and workshop space with associated parking and external open storage areas.

Location
The former Bar End Depot is located a short distance from the centre of Winchester and less than a mile from the M3 making it the perfect location for a number of different redevelopment opportunities including Design & Build and Pre-Let. The city has a strong retail offering for a centre of its size, with the prime retailing pitch being the pedestrianised High Street and The Brooks shopping centre, adjacent to the High Street, providing a secondary retail location.

Occupiers within the city include a mixture of national and local retailers, with representation from Marks & Spencer and Sainsbury’s amongst others.
Industrial estates tend to be located around the Winnall junction of the M3, with a particularly strong representation from trade counter and quasi-retail occupiers.

Winchester sits immediately to the west of the M3, which provides links to London (68 miles) and Southampton (14 miles), accessible via Junction 9 (Winnall) and Junction 10 (Winchester south), at which is a Park and Ride facility to alleviate city centre traffic congestion. The railway station, situated less than 0.25 miles north-west of the city centre, provides a direct service to London Waterloo in an approximate journey time of 1 hour. Local rail services are available to Southampton and other major local/regional destinations.
