A huge warehouse building on an industrial estate in Melksham, Wiltshire, has been snapped up by a packaging company.
Property consultancy Myddelton & Major has successfully let 31 Lancaster Road on the Bowerhill Industrial Estate to Westbury Packaging Ltd on a 15-year lease.
Offered jointly with Colliers International, the quoting leasehold rent for the 59,391 sq ft (5,517.42 sq m) warehouse was £225,000 per annum.
Myddelton & Major Partner Dean Speer said: “Independently-owned Westbury Packaging, one of the premier packaging manufacturers in the South West, was seeking new premises into which to expand.
“We were delighted to help facilitate this long-established business – packaging designers and cardboard box manufacturers – to locate this ideal large manufacturing, storage, design and distribution site.
“Westbury Packaging has been in business for 30 years and serves clients across the South and Midlands for its Westbury HQ, including Bristol, Cardiff, Southampton, Exeter, Bournemouth, Plymouth, Brighton, Gloucester, Oxford and Birmingham.”
The building occupies a self-contained site of 2.37 acres which provides parking, loading and yard areas. An attached single storey office block provides offices and welfare facilities.”
The property comprises a detached warehouse building of steel frame construction under a corrugated cement sheet roof with insulated profile steel cladding and brick and blockwork elevations.
Handily-situated Bowerhill Industrial Estate is the principal employment area serving Melksham.
The estate houses a range of well established companies, including Knorr-Bremse Rail Systems Ltd, Cooper Tyres and a number of trade counter businesses such as Travis Perkins and Screwfix.
The market town of Melksham lies approximately 12 miles south of Junction 14 of the M4 on the A350 north south route between Swindon and Poole.
