LOCATION
Villa Road is situated in Stanway, approximately 2.5 miles west of Colchester Town Centre via the busy Lexden Road. The A12 trunk road, Tollgate Retail Park and Stane Retail Park are circa 0.8 miles west, at the Tollgate Interchange. Occupiers at Tollgate Retail Park include Currys / PC World, Argos, B&M Stores, and Wren, Stane Park occupiers include B&Q, Aldi, Marks & Spencer, Greggs and Sainsbury’s Superstore adjacent.
Villa Road has excellent road links to the national motorway network, 0.5 miles east of the A12 (J26) and 2 miles east of the A120, while also accessible to the mainline railway stations at Marks Tey and Colchester providing direct links to London Liverpool Street (journey time approx. 50 minutes).
The development is situated off one of Colchester‘s main arterial roads (London Road) to the northern end of Villa Road and directly to rear of a parade of shops which include Martin McColls Convenience Store, Essex County Council Library and Rhim Jhim Indian Restaurant. There is a pedestrian walkway from Villa Road through to Tolgate East with occupiers including Homebase and Magnet Kitchens.
DESCRIPTION
The development will provide a new and exciting commercial building extending to circa 2,200 sq ft and will deliver a high-quality building feature corner window facing the access road creating a new observation point. The glass is angled to orientate views over the parking area. The glass facade is angled to reduce glare from the rising and setting sun, whilst making most of the benefit of solar gain to passively heat the building during the autumn and winter. A large soffit above the glass helps to shade the building in the summer months and to aid cooling. The slant of the glass also aims to promote visibility across the car park and reduce glare to the neighbouring dwellings.
The new development will be suitable for a range of occupiers to include but not limited to retail, restaurant, office, health, leisure and the developer will work with the tenant in respect to the final specification and internal fitout works.
The site is accessed from Villa Road. There is an area of hardstanding which is used for staff and customer car parking.
