Swavesey is situated mid-way between Cambridge and Huntingdon (8 miles) with a Guided Bus stop connecting these two locations. Swavesey offers a range of facilities including two schools, post office and shop. Cambridge Services (J28 of the 14) is approximately 1.8 miles away with a range of food, leisure and retail facilities on offer.
ACCOMMODATION
The property, which sits on a site of 2.91 acres (1.18 Ha) is made up of three principal parts including the main office block, a workshop / store with first floor offices and a 1.4 acre yard to the rear.
Main Office Block: A detached two storey building of steel frame construction with brick clad walls surmounted by profiled steel cladding. The specification of the offices includes double glazed windows, suspended ceilings, central heating and some local air conditioning. The interior of the building has been sub-divided to create individual rooms, one of which is a staff canteen. The building has the potential to be split into two with two centrally located staircases and toilet blocks and the potential to create a second reception area at the front of the property. We understand that the building was originally designed to provide office accommodation with ancillary storage accommodation and the remains of the rear loading doors are still evident to the rear elevation. To the front of the office building is a bricked paved area providing car parking and ancillary landscaping. Immediately to the rear of the office block is a further paved area providing additional staff car parking.
