Plenty of Takers Down on the Farm

Nanjerrick Court office suites

Stags Professional Department in Truro brought 2,400 sq.ft of brand new office space at Nanteague Farm, Marazanvose to the market at the end of September 2004. The development, known as Nanjerrick Court, consists of four separate office suites ranging in size from 350 – 800 sq.ft. with a total floor area of 2,400 sq.ft. The building, a former milking parlour, has been carefully and specifically designed to provide the sort of high specification office workspace which is in demand from today's modern business user.

With an excellent location in the A30 corridor, and in close proximity of Truro plus good parking facilities and an attractive rural environment, the office space found ready demand from both private businesses and local authorities. In the end terms were agreed with H2OK Systems Limited, a local firm of environmental consultants specialising in the waste water and sewage field, who are relocating from their existing premises at Indian Queens. Simon Kearsley of H2OK said "Nanjerrick Court is just what we were looking for. Our expansion plans meant we needed good quality office space close to the main arterial route into and out of the region and with excellent parking facilities for our 25 staff. Mr Viv George (owner) has certainly been well advised with this project."

The lease was completed shortly before Christmas with H2OK moving in the following day.

The overall project clearly demonstrates how redundant rural buildings can be reused in today's commercial market place to everyone's advantage. The project has recieved Objective One investment via Business Link's Rural Diversification Capital Grant Initiative. Marilyn Pryor, Contract Manager for the Rural Diversification Capital Grant Initiative commented "Nanjerrick Court is an excellent example of the regeneration of outdated farm buildings which both meets local commercial demand and helps to maintain a viable farming unit."

Gareth Rowe from Stags' Truro Office who specialises in rural planning and farm diversification matters has seen the project through from conception to letting. As Mr Rowe says "There is good potential for farmers and land owners to redevelop redundant and outdated buildings for alternative use provided they are in the right location with good access and deliver what the market place requires."
