Our agency team has completed the sale of an industrial premises in Croft, Leicestershire, representing over 10,906 sq ft of warehouse and office provisions, along with a 15,470 sq ft yard.

8 Winston Avenue has been sold for an undisclosed sum to retail display specialists, TopCo Investments Ltd T/A Insitu Display Ltd. Insitu Display support major brands across the UK, Europe and internationally.

Our Asset Manager, Bobby Brown, negotiated the sale. Bobby comments: “Having worked with Insitu Display on another industrial unit, we were aware of their growth plans. When we brought 8 Winston Avenue to market, they were one of the first to enquire and arrange a viewing. Knowing their ambitions, we could see the property offered a strong fit.

“Winston Avenue is an established industrial location, well-served by excellent transport links, and this was an important part of its appeal for Insitu Display. They immediately saw the unit’s potential and now the sale has completed, will begin a major refurbishment to modernise the premises.

“This sale highlights the importance of strong communication between agents and occupiers, and how regular conversation can accelerate decision-making. Industrial units of more than 10,000 sq ft are limited in the local market, making opportunities of this scale particularly relevant to occupiers with specific space requirements. Landlords with similar properties who are considering a sale, or looking to understand the current market value, are encouraged to get in touch,” adds Bobby.

Our agency team has negotiated three long-term lease agreements for a rural office building in South Kilworth, securing new occupiers for just over 2,000 sq ft space.

The Workshop offers three modern, self-contained offices in a fantastic rural location with excellent transport connections to the M1, M69, A50 and A46. The building also benefits from characterful detailing such as a flagstone floor.

“The rural office market is proving resilient, particularly with businesses looking for parking certainty, reduced travel times and an attractive working environment,” says our Commercial & Residential Asset Manager, Pru Singh, who has negotiated all three lettings. “The Workshop brings all these benefits alongside high-quality, sustainable space, so it understandably proved popular. We’re pleased to have helped these local businesses find a new base and bring The Workshop to full occupancy.

“These lettings highlight there’s clearly a market for well-positioned office accommodation outside the Midlands’ larger commercial centres. Businesses considering a move, or landlords seeking to better understand the demand for rural office space are encouraged to get in touch,” adds Pru.

LAND NEWS: The sale of a 117-acre farm near the Rutland village of Langham has been completed by our land team.

Westmoor Farm, off Cold Overton Road, has been sold to a private buyer for an undisclosed sum. The deal was completed by our Managing Director, Andrew McFarlane Holt within just two months of bringing the farm to market.

Andrew comments: “Rutland is England’s smallest and, arguably one of the prettiest, counties so Westmoor Farm presented a rare opportunity to become part of this community. Offering good agricultural land quality, as well as the potential redevelopment of the existing farm buildings, it was unsurprising that this holding attracted significant interest and we were pleased to negotiate a quick sale. This transaction highlights the continued appeal of well-positioned agricultural holdings, particularly where there is scope to add value through redevelopment.”

Westmoor Farm comprises 117 acres of pasture land divided into 12 enclosures with several small areas of coppice/woodland, spring fed ponds, and a stream running along the western boundary. A detached, four-bedroom farmhouse and a range of farm buildings, including portal framed barns and workshop, were also part of the sale.

NEW TO MARKET: The first retail and commercial units at Broadnook, Leicestershire’s first Garden Village.

We are pleased to launch a trio of units at Broadnook Court, which is currently under construction by Davidsons Homes and will be ready for occupancy at the end of 2027. Comprising between 2,690 and 6,673 sq ft space, the three units are available to let individually or as a whole, and are located in a stunning detached courtyard directly opposite Broadnook village centre and community hall.

“Broadnook Court has been thoughtfully designed to serve as the community’s primary artisan high street and social destination,” explains Andrew McFarlane-Holt, our Managing Director, who is marketing the units. “This retail hub has taken inspiration from traditional converted estate stables and is arranged around a central courtyard, creating a natural meeting point.

“This trio of prominent retail units provides ideal space for a restaurant, café, farm shop, or other artisan retail offerings, and represents an exciting opportunity to be one of the founding businesses in this brand new community, which will eventually create almost 2,000 new homes. Business owners and investors looking to become part of Broadnook’s success are encouraged to make prompt enquiries as we anticipate strong demand for these units,” adds Andrew.

Broadnook Court forms part of a wider commercial offering at Broadnook Garden Village that will also include a bakery, convenience store, a children’s nursery school, pharmacy, pub/bistro, doctors and dental surgeries. Surrounding the retail hub is extensive open green space, a new country park, formal garden, sports pitches, cricket pavilion, ponds and allotments.

Andrew continues: “It’s fantastic to see Broadnook’s ongoing evolution. Our involvement with this site spans more than a decade and includes the original land sale, which completed in 2022. Bringing Broadnook Court to market marks a significant step forward and we’re looking forward to working with new occupiers as they become an integral part of the village. We’ll also shortly be launching additional retail and office space, so potential tenants are advised to register interest as soon as possible.”

Broadnook Garden Village is situated south of Rothley in North Leicestershire. New homes are under construction by Davidsons Homes, Bovis Homes and Cora Homes.

Viewings of the commercial units at Broadnook Court are by appointment only. Contact Andrew on 01455 559030 to arrange.

📣 NEW TO MARKET: Land At Ullesthorpe Road, Ashby Parva

Our land and development team is marketing 79.89 acres of arable land and a range of farm buildings for sale at a guide price of £1,350,000.

Located either side of Ullesthorpe Road, approximately 1km southwest of the Leicestershire village of Ashby Parva, this land is available as a whole or in three lots.

• Lot 1 (edged purple) extends to 21.83 acres and comprises arable land, three farm buildings and yard
• Lot 2 (edged red) comprises three field enclosures of arable land extending to 27.86 acres, a two-storey brick built barn and former farmyard
• Lot 3 (edged blue) is a single field of arable land, extending to 30.20 acres, with road frontage to Ashby Lane and Ullesthorpe Road

Our Assistant Land Agent, Tom Knowles is offering viewings by appointment only. Tom says: “Ashby Parva is a picturesque rural village in the Harborough District, with good connections to the M1, M6 and A5 via Lutterworth. This land, which is classified as Grade 3A, offers considerable potential, both for those looking for an independent holding, or for investors/developers seeking redevelopment opportunities, subject to planning.

“With the land located either side of Ullesthorpe Road, there is also the option of retaining an arable use and exploring redevelopment of the modern, portal framed buildings for a variety of uses.

“This versatility will likely generate widespread appeal, so we encourage interested parties to arrange viewings promptly,” adds Tom.

Contact Tom or Trevor on 01455 559030 for more information or viewings.

A prominent workshop and vehicle servicing centre in Shirley, Solihull has been sold to a private investor.

Our agency team has negotiated the sale of 568 Stratford Road, a 4,337 sq ft property currently occupied by national retailer, Kwik Fit, on a long-term lease until June 2044.

“Stratford Road is one of Shirley’s key retail and commercial hubs, combining a strong independent offering alongside the popular Solihull Retail Park,” says our Asset Manager, Bobby Brown, who has managed the sale. “Against this backdrop and established footfall, this unit presented an attractive investment opportunity, particularly as it has a national retailer as a longstanding tenant.

“This transaction follows the sale of a neighbouring property on Solihull High Street we completed earlier this year, demonstrating there is continued demand for good quality stock in the town, especially where units are well-located and offer income security. The speed of this latest sale is a clear indication that investors remain ready to move quickly for the right assets,” adds Bobby.

Hill House, a stunning Regency-era building in the heart of Lutterworth, is now fully let.

Our Commercial & Residential Asset Manager, Pru Singh has negotiated new tenants for two ground floor offices, welcoming Medineuro Wellness Clinic and ADA06 Architecture & Masterplanning as the building’s newest occupiers.

Pru says: “Hill House is a really popular building in our portfolio and it’s easy to see why. It’s a short walk from the town centre, offers modern office space, plenty of character and a large garden that’s ideal for outdoor meetings or a lunch break.

“Office space here is rarely available so when we listed these two units, there was a lot of interest. Both Medineuro Wellness Clinic and ADA06 Architecture & Masterplanning were quick to spot the opportunity and keen to expand to such a prominent location within the town. It’s great to welcome them both to Hill House and see the building continue as a thriving business hub,” adds Pru.

The latest letting by our agency team has secured a new studio for international tattoo artist, Liam Freeman.

Liam has relocated his multi award-winning studio, Wet Paint Collective, from Bowley Court in Melton Mowbray to a 578 sq ft space on Market Place, closer to the town’s main shopping thoroughfare.

Our Asset Manager, Bobby Brown, negotiated the lease. Bobby comments: “This unit sits prominently in the town centre, on the first floor above an estate agency, yet benefits from street level access. Set-up as an office, it had planning consent for Use Class E, meaning it was suitable for other commercial purposes.

“Self-contained with a large, open plan layout in excellent condition, we anticipated a high level of interest. As a longstanding business owner within the town, Liam immediately recognised the property’s potential and was among the first to arrange a viewing. We’re pleased to have worked with him to secure this lease and wish him every success for the future,” said Bobby.

Liam adds: “I really enjoyed working with Bobby, he made the whole process easy and it was a really quick turnaround from my initial enquiry on the property to then actually receiving the keys.”

Wet Paint Collective was redecorated to a classic tattoo studio style and officially opened this month.
