GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Aston Court comprises a private site extending to 0.6
acres located in the centre of Hanford and within close
proximity to the A34. The premises briefly comprises 5
internally linked workshops of masonry elevations
supporting pitched roof surfaces currently used for car
repair/restoration purposes. The workshops are of varying
sizes arranged around a central corridor, all of which have
loading doors leading directly onto the concrete
hardstanding yard area. There is also a detached double
garage providing additional workshop/storage
accommodation. The site is accessed via a private driveway
which runs down the lefthand side of 30 Wilson Road and is
approx. ½ a mile from the A34.
LOCATION
The property is located to the rear of a small settlement of
houses and is adjacent to Hanford Park in the centre of
Hanford, within ½ a mile of the A34 and approx. ¾ of a mile
of the A500 (via the Hanford Interchange) which provides a
direct access onto Junctions 15 and 16 of the M6.
SERVICES
All main services are connected to the property including a
3-phase electricity supply (100 amps per phase). There are a
number of gas fired blow heaters serving the workshops. No
services have been tested by the agents.
PLANNING
We understand that the property has been used as a
workshop premises for several decades, serving various
industries and is currently being used as a car workshop and
restoration facility. Alternative commercial uses to possibly
include storage and distribution would also suit the
premises, subject to planning where necessary.
In December 2015, Stoke-on-Trent City Council granted
outline consent (Application No: 58896) to demolish the
existing buildings to allow residential development, with a
proposed scheme illustrating the construction of six
dwellings, although the site can accommodate more units.
Although this planning consent has now lapsed, it is
considered highly likely that a new consent for residential
development will be granted.
VAT
The sale price is not subject to VAT.
TENURE
Available freehold, subject to contact and with vacant
possession upon completion
BUSINESS RATES
