The property occupies a prominent position on the corner of Foxtail Road and Bermuda Road, adjoining occupiers include ScrewFix, Plumb City, The Bed Factory and Ipswich Plastics.

The office areas are fitted with air conditioning, suspended ceilings, recessed lighting, perimeter trunking and carpet floor coverings, with surface mounted fluorescent lighting to the workshop/storage facilities.

Potential Alternative Uses
The previous use of the premises is regarded as being Class E as defined by the Town & Country Planning (Use Classes) Order 1987 and the owners of the property are applying for a Lawful Development Certificate to verify this.
On the assumption that Class E use is confirmed this would allow for a change of use to a variety of alternative commercial business and service uses without the need for further planning permission, including retail, indoor sports, medical/health services etc. All interested parties should make their own enquiries with the local planning authority regarding their specific proposed use.
In addition there appears to be scope to remove part or all of the first floor structure (subject to an engineers survey). This would provide an eaves height of approximately 5 metres.
Services
It is understood that the property is connected to mains three phase electricity, water, drainage and gas.
We understand that the premises are served by both high speed fibre broadband and an uncontended leased broadband line. Further details are available upon request.
We have not tested any of the services and all interested parties should rely upon their own enquiries with the relevant utility companies in connection with the availability and capacity of all of those serving the property including
the IT and telecommunication links referred to above.
