Wickham Works, 3 Wickham Road, Bournemouth, BH7 6JX

Description



Wickham Works, a unique workspace building for lease located on the Dorset south coast in Pokesdown, which is in between Bournemouth and Southbourne.

The building is accessible from the Christchurch Road via Warwick Place and Wickham Road. Pokesdown Railway Station is a five minute walk away and is on the mainline to London Waterloo. The journey time is approximately two hours.

The building dates back to the early 1900s and has predominantly been a warehouse. It's significance as a local heritage building is recognised in the Boscombe and Pokesdown Neighbourhood Plan. The image above is of the ground floor and was taken prior to the current programme of renovation works being undertaken to bring the premises to shell specification. These works have included the provision of extensive solar panels (PV's) to the newly covered main roof. It is anticipated that these will significantly reduce the occupier's electricity costs .
