Coopies Field totals 51,468 sq ft across 21 units and is located just one mile from Morpeth town centre and within walking distance of the railway station, providing direct services to London. Unit 5a at Coopies Field, now occupied by GSF, was the last available unit in Block 5 following a comprehensive refurbishment programme.
