A rare and unusual opportunity to acquire a small building on the edge of the car park on Tyne View Terrace, at the heart of Prudhoe. With visibility from Front Street, this unit could be suitable for a variety of uses, subject to all consents. Previously used as a public toilet block and unused for some time, now offered at auction with vacant possession. All viewings via Andrew Craig and Agents Property Auction.
Location
The building is located in the car park to the rear of Front Street, adjacent to the Prudhoe and District United Services Club. Access is from Front street and then across Tyne View Terrace. This is the central and busiest retail area within Prudhoe, with many varied retail and service providers, including Coop food and Herons. The centre of Prudhoe serves a wide and varied demographic within both the town itself and the Tyne Valley.
The Building
Externally measuring approximately 8 metres by 6 metres built of brick with a tiled roof. Buyers must view the legal pack for full details and a site plan, which shows a small strip of land around the building and access to Tyne View Terrace.
Planning
We have on file a document provided by Northumberland County Council headed 'Development Brief: Public Conveniences, Prudhoe April 2024'. This was prepared by Strategic Estates to explore the acceptability of the change of use of a former public toilet block in Prudhoe.

In summary the Council said 'The site is previously developed land within the Town Centre and Primary Shopping Area of one of Northumberland's Main Towns. As a result, there is strong policy support for the principle of a change of use to retail or service. This is on provision that the requirements of Policy INF 2 regarding the loss of community facilities are satisfied.'

This is availble upon request and is included within the legal pack. It is the entire responsibility of the buyer to ensure that they are satisfied with the planning situation with regard to their intended use.
Services
As a public toilet block we have assumed that some mains services were connected previoulsy but buyers must make their own enquiries with the relevant bodies.
Business Rates
We are currently unaware if the building has ever been assessed for rates and buyers must be aware that a rating assessment will probably be required following completion.
Postcode
It should be noted that the postcode on this file has been taken from a nearby site, we can not find an allocated postcode for the site.
Tenure
We are advised that the building will be sold on a freehold basis but buyers must inspect the legal pack.
We will provide as much information about tenure as we are able to and in the case of leasehold properties, we can in most cases provide a copy of the lease. They can be complex and buyers are advised to take legal advice upon the full terms of a lease. Where a lease is not readily available we will apply for a copy and this can take time.
