Located just off Rochester High Street to the rear of No.329, the building is an attractive former industrial factory which takes it’s name from the light metal fabrication company that once occupied the premises seventy four years ago. In 1998 the exterior was extensively refurbished with a grant from Medway Council under a CAP scheme. The last major tenant manufactured printed circuits, meaning that the interior had to be upgraded to comply with stringent fire regulations. These improvements included a new fire alarm system which is still in place today. The building also had to undergo an industrial electrical safety inspection for which it received a certificate. There are shared parking facilities adjacent to the building and easily accessible from the High Street. As you will see from the enclosed floor plans and photographs, the ground floor comprises of three similarly-sized adjoined spaces which have a total area of 1,171 sq.ft. and could easily be converted to artist’s workshops. This floor is extremely suitable for artists who use machinery, as it is equipped with industrial electrical outlets and safety isolation switches. The first floor is of a similar layout, with a total area of 1,269 sq.ft. As with the ground floor it could be easily converted into artistic studios. The second floor is an attractive attic-like roof space which would make an excellent studio and office. There are also two small toilets which would most probably need to be upgraded to comply with Health & Hygiene regulations. The building has a total area of 3,342 sq.ft. and has much potential. Please note that the measurements on the enclosed plans are approximate as they were not prepared by a qualified surveyor. They are sufficient to give a good idea of the square footage available.
