Description

A modern (Cold) Storage Facility occupying a highly accessible stand-alone site approximately 0ne mile South of Kelso within the Central Scottish Borders.

South Building:

The South Building was constructed between 1998-2000. This is a clear span insulated cold store of steel portal frame construction clad in insulated composite box profile cladding supported on galvanised purlins. The roof incorporates translucent rooflights. The building has metal box gutters and pvc downpipes within metal boxguards.

There are two electrically operated sectional vehicular access doors to the east elevation, together with the main personnel door. In addition there are vehicular access doors to the south and rear of the rear section of this building. A full height partition has been installed approximately mid-depth of this unit.

There is a lean-to extension to the east of the southern end.

North Building:

Mid-West / Mid-East Building are part of four interlinked clear span buildings. The Original cold Store to the western end would appear to date to around the 1970s. It would appear to be of steel portal frame construction finished in box profile sheeting with foam insulation internally. The two northern most bays are open fronted to the north elevation, providing useful covered loading area. The vehicular access door to the north has approximate opening dimensions of c. 3.05 m wide x 4.00 m high.

The two buildings to the middle are each steel framed finished in plastisol coated insulated box profile cladding believed to date to around 1996-1997. The eastern most of the two has vehicular access doors to each gable with opening dimensions of approximately 5m x 5m which provides scope for lorries to drive through for loading/ unloading if desired. Alternatively, it also provides useful additional storage. The Eastern most building is of similar construction but is more recent having been built in 2012. There is a vehicular access door to the east gable end with opening dimensions of 5.00 m x 5.00 m.

Lighting predominantly comprises sodium units.

The buildings occupy a site of approximately 1.70 ha (4.20 acre) with concrete yard areas to the south and east. The site has excellent access via a private tarmacadam road off the B6436 to the east. There is a concrete spine road to the front and rear.
