Location
The subjects are situated on the south side of First Road, at the junction with East Avenue, within the established Blantyre Industrial Estate. The surrounding area provides predominantly industrial accommodation with both smaller and larger units of accommodation within the immediate vicinity. Occupiers nearby include ECG Facility Services, Itec Integration, Quadscot, Stanford Logistics and H Jarvis & Sons.
Blantyre Industrial Estate lies around ½ mile to the south east of the centre of Blantyre and around 2 miles to the west of Hamilton town centre. The estate originally dates from around the 1950s with the majority of the units within the estate being of a broadly similar age to the subjects in this case. The estate affords convenient access to the A725 expressway lying directly to the east, this in turn affording access to both East Kilbride and to the M74 motorway.
Blantyre provides relatively good road links, principally via the A725 and there are also reasonable public transport links to the area, including a main railway line which links with Glasgow and a number of surrounding Lanarkshire towns.
Accommodation
The property forms part of a terrace of units which are of a broadly similar form of construction. The front of the property is a single storey office projection which appears to be formed in brick and stone with a combination of light rendered and stone finishes. This section of the property is surmounted by a flat roof.
The main industrial area lies to the rear and is formed in brickwork with a predominantly rendered finish externally with the original industrial areas surmounted by north light style roofs which have a combination of glazed and fibre cement sheeted finishes.
The main pedestrian access to the property is afforded from the front elevation with the main vehicle access afforded to the rear, by a series of steel roller shutters and additional pedestrian access points.
Internally, the subjects presently operate as a business centre with the property providing predominantly office and similar uses towards the front with storage and similar uses towards the rear.
The office areas towards the front have been the subject of a degree of recent internal refurbishment, with these areas providing good quality office accommodation. There are separate ladies’ and gents’ toilets within this section together with kitchen facilities which are shared between the various occupiers. The kitchen and toilet areas are well finished however there is an area of former workers’ toilets.
The industrial area towards the rear is predominantly open plan and has a solid concrete floor with the walls where visible being predominantly of painted brick and block and the ceiling finish open to the roof structure. Given the nature of construction employed, the property has a uniform eaves / storage height throughout of around 4 metres.
