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 - The site has been split into three separate assessments for
