Rare opportunity for 100,000 sq ft in South Yorks

One of the last remaining 100,000 sq ft plus industrial spaces to let in South Yorkshire is on the market.

Block A on the Aven Industrial Estate on Tickhill Road near Maltby, offers 102,250 sq ft in the centre of a 26-acre site and benefits from being just minutes away from the national motorway network, with 24-hour access and security.

The unit, based near the former colliery site, is expected to attract interest from companies looking for long term storage options for overflow stock at a value for money rental rate of just £1 sq ft and is one of only a handful of 100,000 sq ft units available as stocks diminish.

Block A, which can also be split into two units of 73,906 and 28,344 sq ft, sits next to Block B which is home to a variety of different sized businesses in 23 industrial units, which now only has one unit of 1,300 sq ft remaining.

Garage and bodyshop specialists Straightset Ltd is the latest to move into Block B expanding from its base in Worksop. Neighbours include AcquaAid and Car Sure of Rotherham.

Ben White, from the Sheffield office of Knight Frank, which is marketing Block A jointly with Fernie Greaves for client Commercial Estates Group, said: “Key to this unit is its size which makes it quite a rarity in South Yorkshire until development moves forward, 24 hour security and access on an established and secure industrial park.

“The available unit offers storage accommodation of a single storey providing typically open plan warehousing accommodation fitted with lighting, connections to all mains services and loading doors. In addition is a good standard of office accommodation and the ability to provide a good sized yard to the rear of the unit if required.

“Demand for this type of unit is expected to be high with plenty of interest from companies wanting good quality yet good value for money looking to expand and/or relocate to this central site.”

South Yorkshire has seen diminishing stock of this size, 100,000 sq ft plus, over the last few years as supply outstrips demand. Few opportunities currently exist however new design and build options are being brought speculatively to the market in Doncaster, Barnsley, Rotherham and Sheffield.

Aven Industrial Park fronts onto the A631 Tickhill Road, approximately one mile from Maltby town centre and offers direct access to the M18 Junction 1, and both the A1 and M1. Rotherham and Doncaster town centres are easily accessible from the estate.
