Wotton Road

A sprawling Live-Work space for rent, set in an historic aircraft factory.

Formerly occupied by Handley Page, one of the UK’s aviation powerhouses, this versatile Live-Work unit was remodelled by architects Caireen O’Hagan and Corrine Quinn in 2018.

Designed to accommodate 30-60 staff, the sprawling 4,191 sq ft commercial space would suit a range of creative industries, including film, design and photographic studios, and would also be suitable for co-working. Planning permission allows a residential component, making this the ultimate working from home set up.

Accessed by a 30-metre-long driveway, entry is via a double-height roller shutter door. The 4.5 metre eaves allow ample room for unloading vehicles. Inside, Crittall windows flood the expansive open-plan space with light. Exposed steel beams, brickwork and poured concrete continue the industrial aesthetic.
Energy-efficient infra-red heating panels and Mechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery Systems that provide fresh, filtered air, ensure a comfortable working environment, along with a wood burning stove for the winter months.

There’s also a fully equipped stainless steel kitchenette with slate worktops, a butler sink and double fridge. Two metro-tiled bathrooms include three WCs and a shower. A private garden completes the innovative setting. Security is also assured – note the ethernet CCTV and app door entry system.
