GORELL Barnes are delighted to announce the virtual completion of a brand new high-spec office building at Eckland Lodge, Desborough Road, Market Harborough on the Eckland Lodge Business Park.

The building has been developed to the very latest specification and standards and comprises of a total of 9950 square feet over two floors overlooking superb countryside and set in a parkland setting.

John Barnes says that this complements the business park which caters for smaller office occupiers and also industrialists but these facilities in the new Lincoln Building will provide the next stage of office refinement including prestigious entrance area and the capability of subdivision from 595 square feet in a total of 10 suites.

John has been encouraged by the marketing and the interest shown in this unique facility which provides the occupier with all needs including ample car parking and the prospect of future leisure and other amenities on the site including a fitness gym and pool and refreshment facilities.

Furthermore, the location is superb being on the A6 bypass giving easy access to Market Harborough, two miles distance, and also the mainline Kettering railway station and the A14 trunk road.

John really encourages potentially interested parties to view these facilities to see the standard of fit out and grade A specification including oversized walnut doors, chandelier entrance, attractive Northamptonshire stone and excellent architectural design.

Strong interest has been expressed already and there are two suites under offer and any potentially interested parties are, therefore, encouraged to view as soon as possible.

John commented that this is the first speculative office development in the region for some considerable years and is a great testament to the confidence and faith of the business market in the area.

Further developments in Northamptonshire initiated through Gorell Barnes includes the refurbishment of derelict shops in High Street Flaxton that has now been turned into potentially three shops with separate living accommodation above. This gateway and high profile site has enormously benefited Flaxton and the agent has the whole of the commercial section under offer to one prestigious operator who is expected to open by Christmas.

Elsewhere locally, Gorell Barnes have initiated the refurbishment of a derelict former forge in Islip which are now prestigious offices with good car parking and very pleasant external garden.

On square footage terms, the major development in Northants has been in Wellingborough on the Denington Industrial Estate. A former printing factory which has remained vacant for many years fronting Denington Road and also Crane Close was bought by local developers Fernbrook who, with the advice of Gorell Barnes has completely refurbished the building and also subdivided it to provide smaller units for industrialists, the logistics sector but would also be suitable for leisure and freight counter uses. The 4,400 square feet building, Unit E, created out of the subdivisions is let to a national operator and strong interest has been shown in the remaining units prior to practical completion at the end of October.
