DESCRIPTION
South Hetton Industrial Estate extends to 12,367 sq ft and comprises 11 single-storey workshop and industrial units arranged across two separate sites. To the west of Bessemer Road, the estate provides two pairs of semi-detached industrial units positioned either side of a central shared yard. To the east, a further seven units are arranged in an “L”-shaped terrace, creating a flexible mix of accommodation for a range of occupiers.
The units are of steel portal frame construction with brick and blockwork elevations to approximately 2 metres, with profiled metal cladding above and to the roof. Roofs are pitched and incorporate translucent panels, providing natural light. Internal features include concrete floors, painted blockwork walls, strip lighting, and approximately 10% roof lighting. Each unit is equipped with an electrically operated roller shutter door, WC facilities, and connections to mains services, while selected blocks benefit from gas-fired warm air heating.
Externally, both sites are enclosed by steel palisade fencing and are accessed via gated entrances from Bessemer Road. Each site benefits from forecourt circulation space for loading and unloading, along with designated parking for tenants and visitors. The combination of secure boundaries, practical layouts, and adaptable floor areas makes South Hetton Industrial Estate a well-suited base for small to medium-sized businesses.
