Commercial Property
DRAFT DETAILS. Grade II listed building dating back to 1909 located in the popular Aber Park region of Flintshire. The Aber Park area was developed in the 1890's for the production of 'vegetable parchment' paper and at the beginning of the Twentieth Century, was used by German company for the production of natural fibres and later, the synthetic fibre viscose rayon. The works ceased production at the outbreak of the first World War and were taken over by Courtaulds in 1917 who renamed the site the Aber Works and expanded and developed textile production across north-east Wales. The area has since been extensively redeveloped as a modern industrial, retail and leisure site.
Externally, the building has a Renaissance Revival style. It is two storeys, built in distinctive local red brick with moulded stone eaves cornice. Hipped slate roof recessed behind parapet with 3 tall brick chimneys. The entrance front of six bays is symmetrically arranged with central doorway and advanced outer gables articulated by banded pilasters and stone cornice broken by full height arched recesses.
Internally the entrance hall leads onto the main stairs to the first floor with a further secondary stairway leading to the attic. The internal plan is based around the central spine wall and currently consists of 21 serviced offices (many of which are suitable for subdivision).
The building is located in a prime business location, close to a number of transport links including Flint railway station and the A548 which is the main road in and out of the town. Flintshire Retail Park is also less than a mile away and is host to a number of well-known shops and eateries.
