The Studios
Studio One:
Studio one is a large live music & production space, comprising of a large control room & a decent-sized adjacent live room with an isolation booth in the corner. There is line of sight through studio windows between all 3 recording areas.
All areas have been professionally treated for both isolation and & acoustic response & the booth is large enough for a drum kit – though drums sound particularly good in the live room ! The control room is also large enough to act as a third recording space. There are tie-lines between all three spaces & an existing headphones foldback / talkback system.Studio One features a large bespoke workstation /studio rack unit furniture system, complete with GPO ‘B’ gauge patch bays & associated looms for outboard & console. There is currently still some equipment installed, including a Yamaha 02R digital console, valve preamps & compressor from TL Audio, a TC Electronics Finalizer 96K & various other pieces. The monitors are Dynaudio AIR15 actives, complete with remote control unit. We can remove / retain any/all equipment in discussion with any potential buyer.
Studio Two:
Studio Two comprises a small production space /control room with an adjacent isolation booth. Both areas have been professionally treated for both isolation and & acoustic response & the booth is large enough for two people.
There is no studio furniture or equipment currently in Studio Two, but tie-lines (including data/ video) exist between control room/booth. There are also a few audio tie-lines back to Studio One, for the potential of using Studio Two as more recording spaces for a session in Studio One.
Both:
Both studios feature full summer/winter silent air-conditioning, ample mains power sockets & switchable/dimmable downlighting.
Other space aside from studio
A very large open space suitable for office work, though audio tie-lines exist back to Studio One, so there is the possibility of using this as very large recording space, however it is not acoustically treated or soundproofed like the two studio areas. There is currently a suspended ceiling which has seen better days – but the entire church was fully re-roofed 4 years ago, so there are no longer water ingress issues. The ceiling could quite easily be returned to the original roof timbers above or a contemporary floating ceiling added. It would even be possible to install a mezzanine.
Some of the walls need old plaster knocking off & re-plastering, or taking back to the stone: there is one feature wall that has exposed stones. Heating is via radiators (via heating oil tank in an adjacent outbuilding) & there is dimmable downlighting. The church has fibre-to-premises via its own pole outside for super-fast 900 mg broadband connection.
There is a small toilet/ washroom & adjacent kitchen/ storage area, whilst the building offers plenty of local storage in various loft spaces & a space above Studio One’s isolation booth. Fire exits & signage are present & there is a full intruder alarm system – including police response – as well as a smoke/fire alarm system.
