The Offices

Here is the site aerial view (click on the image to take you to google maps so you can position the site relative to the rest of the earth).

The four yellow dots mark our boundaries. Note that the strip of land between our office and the flats is not owned by ourselves and is not currently for sale.

The site measurements are taken from Google Earth and so are only approximate.

Access to the existing building is either from St Stephens Place (CB3 0JE). or Canterbury Street (CB4 3QG).

St Stephens Place is a private made up road that runs from Westfield Road. We enjoy full rights of way over this road.

The entrance from Canterbury Street is from an unmade road that runs between Westfield Lane and Canterbury Street. We tarmacked the road from Canterbury Street to the front of the offices. The entrance from Canterbury Street is approx 9′ 6″ wide.

Gas, Electric, Water and sewers are currently supplied from Canterbury Street.

Existing development

On the site  is a brick built two storey building which in the 1900’s was a coach house. Prior to our purchase in 1985 the building had already being extended into two storeys and a side extension added. We added a 112m² extension facing St Stephens Place in 1987 (Planning application C/0777/87). Then in 1992 added a 70m² single storey extension into the courtyard area (C/0397/92). We then finally added a first storey extension to couple up the two buildings (C/0143/95).

The total internal floor area is ~300m² . The first floor is currently rented to Heyes Communications on a recurring 6 month lease the ground floor is empty and was previously rented out to one tenant, Cortex Controllers Ltd (A company owned by one of the site owners) at £26,600 per year . One small office on the first floor overlooking St. Stephens Place is also vacant.
