Described by Northampton director Gilbert Harvey as ‘rare’ and being offered with vacant possession, the freehold of a detached trade counter and warehouse premises and site on Cockerell Road in Corby is the team's latest instruction, inviting offers in excess of £1.25 million.

Built in 2020 and set on a secure, fenced-in site of just under an acre (0.97 acres), Unit 1 Ellis Court, Manton Park on Cockerell Road is 5,571 sq ft of high quality trade counter and warehouse accommodation with an additional 1,412 sq ft mezzanine.

With two separate access points, the front of the premises has dedicated parking for 14 vehicles and an external display space leading to the customer entrance and internal display area. The rear access point opens to extensive yard space and two full-height loading doors.

In addition to the trade counter area and warehouse space, there are offices on the two levels in a combination of open plan and individual layouts. Staff accommodation includes a kitchen and access compliant cloakroom facilities.

Manton Park sits within the prime trade and industrial area of Cockerell Road - a well-established commercial district of Corby - with what the agent describes as ‘superb’ road transport connectivity to the A14 and the wider road networks of the East Midlands.

Speaking about this latest instruction, director Gilbert Harvey, who is leading the agency on the sale of the freehold, said, “This is a high profile instruction in the locale because freehold opportunities on such a modern set of premises are rare. Plus, it is being offered with vacant possession.

“We anticipate serious interest in this instruction now we have launched it to the market.”

Viewing is strictly by appointment through BTG Eddisons as the sole agent, and can be arranged through contacting Gilbert Harvey on 01536 843400 or through [email protected].
