Main Description
An opportunity to acquire a high specification freehold office building extending to approximately 3,887 sq ft, located within the well-established Astra Centre business estate in Harlow.

Arranged over three levels, the property provides flexible office accommodation comprising a combination of open-plan and partitioned workspace. The building also benefits from a converted roof-void office with skylights, providing additional workspace or meeting accommodation rarely found in comparable buildings within the estate.

The internal specification is higher than many neighbouring offices, including glazed internal partitioning, raised access flooring, recessed lighting and air conditioning, creating a professional working environment suited to SMEs, regional offices and professional occupiers.

Based on rental evidence within the estate of approximately £12.50 per sq ft, the building could achieve £48,000–£50,000 per annum, reflecting a potential gross yield in the region of 7.6%–8% at the asking price of £625,000, subject to letting.

Freehold office buildings of this size and specification rarely become available within the Astra Centre estate, particularly those offering additional roof-level workspace and strong parking provision.

The property may also appeal to an owner-occupier seeking headquarters premises, with potential to occupy part of the building while generating income from the remainder.

Astra Centre occupies a prominent position on Edinburgh Way (A414), providing excellent connectivity to the M11 (Junction 7), M25 and wider motorway network. Harlow Town Station offers direct services to London Liverpool Street in approximately 30–35 minutes, making the location attractive for both regional and London-connected businesses.

An attractive freehold commercial opportunity combining strong income potential, quality workspace and excellent connectivity within one of Harlow’s established business locations.

Early enquiries are recommended.
