Occupant sought for vacant car showroom premises

A former VW showroom in South Yorkshire is on the market.

Commercial property agent Knight Frank has been jointly appointed with Eaton Commercial to market the property in Rotherham.

The building and site occupies a prominent position fronting Bawtry Road in Wickersley and has recently become available following JCT600’s decision to close the Rotherham dealership.

It comprises approximately 17,757 sq ft of showroom, workshop and ancillary offices.

Externally, there are used car display areas to the front of the showroom with a customer, staff and Service Parking area to the rear with the total site area covering approximately 1.28 acres.

Peter Whiteley, head of Knight Frank in Sheffield, said: “This property is immediately available and could be of interest to a wide variety of potential occupiers, investors and developers.

“The site benefits from a prominent position located on the A631 Bawtry Road and is close to a number of retail outlets including Aldi, Morrisons Supermarket, McDonalds and the local high quality facilities within Wickersley.

“It also benefits from fantastic motorway links being located close to Junction 1 of the M18 and links to the M1 and M62.

Robert Eaton, of Eaton Commercial, added: “The site has existing consent as a motor vehicle showroom and other potential uses may require appropriate consents with the local planning office.

“We are encouraged by the early interest expressed in the property for both existing use and potential redevelopment.”
