Agent’s note: Whilst the property has undergone considerable improvement and alteration during recent times, there remains some work unfinished. 2 en suite facilities are yet to be fitted, although suite and materials have been purchased and would be available by separate negotiation. The water supply currently comes in via Labcraft, the adjacent business, and therefore an independent supply needs to be created. Heating is currenty fired by a Biomass boiler located within the adjacent business although a mains gas supply is available but would require the installation of a new boiler.
