Situated in the vibrant market town of Sudbury, this property offers a prime opportunity for renovation and investment. With a population of approximately 25,000, Sudbury is not only expanding but also serves a larger catchment area. The ongoing development of the Chilton Woods project, which aims to introduce 1,000 new homes, further enhances the area's growth potential. Convenient transport links include branch line train services to London via Marks Tey, taking around 70 minutes, and Stansted Airport is just a short drive away at about 40 minutes. Nearby towns such as Colchester and Bury St Edmunds are easily accessible, making this location both practical for business and appealing for future residential developments.
This detached single-storey industrial building spans approximately 4,778 sq ft and features concrete blockwork walls with a pitched roof at the front and a flat roof at the rear. Previously home to ATS as a tyre and exhaust service center for many years, the layout is versatile enough for varying industrial uses, particularly suited for those in the motor trade sector. Given its design, there’s an opportunity to subdivide the space into smaller units with individual vehicular access points if desired.
Internally, the property consists of several distinct areas: a front workshop (1,028 sq ft), central reception (1,015 sq ft), central workshop (508 sq ft), and an expansive L-shaped rear workshop measuring 2,227 sq ft. The extensive exterior space includes a large yard accessed through double gates that can accommodate approximately 20 vehicles while providing additional parking options at the front. The site spans about 0.35 acres and is enclosed by security mesh fencing on three sides.
Service connections include mains electricity (three-phase), water, and drainage. Notably, this property presents substantial investment potential; while planning permission for demolishing the existing structure to construct nine mixed-use units was recently denied, this opens up avenues for creative redevelopment—subject to planning approval.
For investors seeking renovation opportunities in a growing area with robust commercial viability or those looking to establish an industrial presence in Sudbury's flourishing market landscape, this property warrants consideration.
