A NON-profit organisation has moved into the Basingstoke countryside after letting a recently converted former agricultural building.

Science Projects, which specialises in the promotion of learning through interactive interpretation, has taken a 10-year lease on Unit 1 on the Steventon Estate, Steventon. 

The 7,896 sq ft warehouse has been let by a private landlord, advised by commercial property agents Curchod & Co.

Tom Clancy of Curchod & Co said: "It has been great to be involved with the repurposing of these former agricultural buildings. There is one unit remaining totalling 6,566 sq ft and we hope to be announcing a further transaction soon."

A post on Science Projects' website said: "Visitors to our new workshop will discover quite a different feel to the previous one. Instead of the lorries, factories and city sounds, they’ll hear birdsong, see green fields, uninterrupted blue skies and perhaps the odd farm animal.

"We have moved several times in our history, each time to accommodate our growing needs and future plans. However, this is the first step outside of London, with the potential to develop new exciting projects and lay down future plans.

"We are now in Hampshire, west of London. It’s a big move, so we’re busy getting everything in place as well as finishing some projects for shipping, but we are looking forward to sharing more news in the near future."
