Location

The property sits on the boundary of Glasgow City and the Burgh of Rutherglen approximately 5 km (3 miles) south east of Glasgow City Centre. The M74 extension runs past the property with the new Junction 2 allowing easy access to the motorway, both east and west, approximately 1.6 km (1 mile) to the north.

The immediate vicinity has seen large scale commercial and residential redevelopment in recent years and is fast becoming increasingly popular with industrial and commercial occupiers due to its excellent motorway connections and public transport facilities.

The location sits within Clyde Gateway which is Scotland’s biggest and most ambitious regeneration programme. It is a partnership between Glasgow City Council, South Lanarkshire Council and Scottish Enterprise, backed by funding and direct support from the Scottish Government.

Situation

The subjects are situated on the east side of Glasgow Road (A730), which is a principal thoroughfare/arterial route leading from Glasgow City Centre to Rutherglen. The unit occupies a prominent main road position on Glasgow Road and sits at the entrance to Rutherglen Industrial Estate. The surrounding area is a mixture of trade counter outlets and modern industrial units with nearby occupiers including Arnold Clark, Topps Tiles, Halfords, Booker Cash and Carry Jewson, Enterprise Rental Cars and Crown Paints.

 

Description

The unit is a steel portal frame warehouse with brick/block dado walls and corrugated sheet above. The original corrugated cement sheet roof has been overclad with profile aluminium sheets. There is a single storey office block to the front. The premises sit within a secure regular yard with low site coverage.

The warehouse has steel roller shutters to the gable allowing easy access for vehicles and internally the warehouse is sub-divided to provide workshop area with tyre storage area beyond.

The offices have a large bright reception with private office, toilets and kitchen and are well-fitted.
