General Description 

A well-located site fronting the A12 trunk road at Kelsale, just to the north west of Saxmundham.  The property enjoys a prominent location with good access to the A12 via a truncated side road.

In recent years the land has been maintained in grass cover and the former farm building has been converted for use as an aircraft hanger and workshop with planning consent for helicopter landing and storage. 

The boundaries to the site are well defined by existing hedges and ditches with a post and rail fence alongside the A12 trunk road.  There is a gated access onto the A12 although this has not been used for some while.

The Property

The property comprises:

Hangar - 40' x 45' (12.2m x 13.7m) of timber frame construction with concrete block walls (to 7 courses high) with fibre cement (Big Six) external roof and wall cladding.  The main hangar measures approximately 14' (4.3m) to eaves and incorporates a double opening vehicle access door approximately 14' 6" wide x 14' high (4.4m x 4.3m).  The concrete floor within the hangar is finished with industrial flooring paint.

Attached to the main hangar is an additional storage/workshop area of block wall construction and monopitch cement fibre clad roof measuring 18' x 40' (5.5m x 12.2m) with secure personnel access door and internal access to the main building. 

To the front of the hangar is an area of concrete hard-standing measuring approximately 60' x 60' (18.3m x 18.3m) with access onto the public highway.

To the rear of the hangar building is a secondary building of similar external appearance to a Nissen hut with concrete floor and concrete block plinth walling with arced fibre cement unsupported cladding. The canopy of the building (i.e. the arc cladding) is in need of substantial repair or replacement.

To the side of the main building there is a 40ft storage container which is included with the sale

The Land

The land is maintained as grass and extends to some 2.14 hectares (5.3 acres).  The land is reasonably level in appearance.   

Easements and Restrictions

There is an easement in favour of British Gas in relation to a pipeline passing beneath the land.  The easement contains prohibitions in relation to development and other works in the vicinity of the gas pipeline. 

Services

The premises has water, electricity and telephone connection with internal wiring for lighting, power and security alarm system.

Planning

A Certificate of Lawful Use was granted in 1994 permitting the continued use of land and buildings for helicopter landing and storage subject to limitations both in relation to the number of aircraft to be used or stored at the site.  The consent relates to private recreational purposes only and places limits upon operating and flying hours.  A copy of the planning permission is available upon request.

The property is offered for sale with vacant possession upon completion and with a guide price of £200,000
