The subjects comprise a detached single-storey industrial complex, set within a regular shaped and generally level-lying site. The property is formed by a traditional stone building under slated roofs at the front of the site, with two workshop extensions and a welfare block added in circa 1975.
The workshop extensions are of steel portal-frame design, with concrete block in-fill walls, constructed to internal eaves heights ranging from 3.8m (12ft 5ins) to 6.5m (21ft 3ins) or thereby. Vehicle access into the workshop space is provided by a metal sliding door, measuring approximately 4.62m (15ft 1ins) high by 4.11m (13ft 5ins) wide. The workshop benefits from an overhead gantry crane with a three-tonne lift capacity
