2 Cambridge Street, Spennymoor, Co. Durham, DL16

LOCATION
Spennymoor is a County Durham town, positioned between the City of Durham (6 miles) and Bishop Auckland (5 miles).

The property occupies a prominent roadside position on the corner of Cambridge Street and Wesleyan
Road. This is part of the town that has evolved from its historical roots as a residential area, characterised by its many terraced houses into a key retail and leisure hub for the town.

The A688 is located less than 0.2 miles to the south, meaning that the property also benefits from excellent access to the A167 and Junction 61 of the A1(M). Public transport links are also excellent with over a dozen routes stopping very close to Cambridge Street every day.

Neighbouring occupiers include Lidl, Farmfoods, Frank's the Flooring, Durham Constabulary and Durham County Council who operate the recently refurbished Spennymoor Leisure Centre.

DESCRIPTION
The original building is a three-storey structure plus basement. Over the years, our client has added several single-storey extensions to meet the operational needs of their business. The property is of traditional brick, block, and stone construction, all under multiple pitched slate tile roofs.

Internally, the ground and first floors have primarily been used as showroom and retail space, while the second floor has served as an office and meeting room. Kitchen and WC facilities are located on the ground floor.

Although most of the plot is developed and the property does not currently offer private parking, there is on-street parking available and a 122-space Durham County Council car park directly opposite, both of which are free to use.

We feel that the property offers redevelopment potential. Part of the building could be cleared to provide private parking and / or loading areas to meet the requirements of an owner-occupier or tenant. Additionally, the property could be subdivided to create a multi-let retail or mixed-use block. Of course, all subject to planning approval.
