DESCRIPTION
Character Workshop and Industrial Unit: To Let
Spen Valley Mills, Halifax Road, Liversedge, West Yorkshire, WF15 6JL
2,200 sq ft (204 sq m) workshop with roller shutter access
£26,400 per annum exclusive
An opportunity to occupy a characterful stone-built workshop unit within Spen Valley Mills, an established industrial complex fronting the A649 Halifax Road in Liversedge. The unit forms part of the single storey frontage range of the mill and offers an open, well lit floorplate, a full height roller shutter loading door and direct frontage onto one of the principal routes through the Spen Valley.
Offered on a new lease directly from the landlord, the unit is well suited to workshop, light industrial, storage, trade and studio uses, and sits less than 2 miles from Junctions 25 and 26 of the M62.
Location
Liversedge sits at the heart of the Spen Valley within the Metropolitan Borough of Kirklees, West Yorkshire, between Cleckheaton and Heckmondwike and broadly central to Bradford, Huddersfield, Dewsbury and Leeds. The valley has a long manufacturing heritage and remains home to a broad base of industrial, engineering, trade and distribution businesses.
Spen Valley Mills occupies a prominent roadside position on the A649 Halifax Road, close to its junction with the A62 Huddersfield to Leeds Road, one of the busiest routes in the district.
Connectivity is a genuine strength of the location:
* Direct frontage to the A649 Halifax Road with steady passing traffic
* Close to the junction with the A62 Huddersfield to Leeds Road
* Less than 2 miles from Junctions 25 and 26 of the M62
* M606 into Bradford accessed from Junction 26 (Chain Bar)
* Straightforward road links to Bradford, Huddersfield, Dewsbury, Halifax, Wakefield and Leeds
* Established commercial setting within a dense residential and trade catchment
For an occupier who needs to reach customers, suppliers or sites across West Yorkshire and the wider M62 corridor, the location is very difficult to fault at this level of rent.
Description
The unit is of traditional stone construction with a striking twin-gabled elevation to Halifax Road, each gable featuring an arched lunette window beneath a stone surround. The pitched roof is carried on exposed steel lattice trusses, with translucent rooflights running along both roof slopes to provide generous natural light across the working floor.
Internally the unit provides a predominantly open plan workshop, benefitting from:
* Concrete floor throughout
* Largely unobstructed working area
* Full height steel roller shutter loading door
* Painted brick and part plywood lined walls
* Fluorescent strip lighting and wall mounted power points
* Panel radiator heating
* Windows to the frontage elevation for additional natural light
Externally, a secure gated entrance from Halifax Road to the side of the frontage range provides access to the central yard serving the mill complex. The frontage is set behind a wide paved footway, giving the unit clear visibility from the road in both directions.
The character of the building is a genuine point of difference. Exposed trusses, dressed stone gables and arched windows give the space an industrial heritage feel that suits creative, maker and brand-led occupiers just as well as traditional workshop and trade users. Very few units of this size in the area offer the same combination of character, natural light and main road presence.

Spen Valley Mills is a substantial mill complex extending to approximately 31,255 sq ft in total, comprising part three storey and part single storey buildings arranged around a central yard.

Why Liversedge?
The Spen Valley offers something that is increasingly hard to find in West Yorkshire: genuine motorway access at rents materially below those of Leeds, Bradford and the established M62 and M606 industrial estates. Occupiers here sit within minutes of the same motorway junctions, without paying the premium attached to a modern estate address.
Kirklees is home to a population of over 430,000, and the unit sits within easy reach of the wider West Yorkshire conurbation of more than 2.3 million people. For a growing business, that means access to customers, staff and the regional road network from a single, affordable base.
For smaller industrial occupiers in particular, good quality units of around 2,000 sq ft with roller shutter access and a main road frontage remain in short supply across the district. This unit offers a practical, characterful and well connected alternative.
Who Is It For?
* Small and growing businesses taking their first dedicated workshop or industrial unit
* Trades and contractors needing secure storage with easy M62 access
* Makers, joiners and fabricators wanting a well lit, open working floor
* E-commerce and online retailers needing stock holding and dispatch space
* Creative businesses seeking a character space with industrial heritage
* Occupiers wanting a West Yorkshire base at a competitive overall rent
