Description

Description
The property comprises a terrace of three self-contained commercial units of traditional brick construction under a pitched tiled roof. The exterior is predominantly rendered, with some sections featuring exposed brickwork around the shopfronts. Each unit benefits from rear access/escape routes, with a gated rear yard serving No. 66-68.

The building is in very good order, having undergone a significant refurbishment when our client purchased it approximately 12 years ago. Until more recently, the majority of the block was owner-occupied by our client, who operated their accountancy firm from the premises until retirement. As a result, the property has been exceptionally well maintained.

The two end units (No. 66 and 70) are arranged over two floors, with their first floors currently utilised as increased customer-facing areas, including additional showroom/retail space or treatment rooms. However, additional entrances could be installed with relative ease if required, allowing for the upper parts to become self-contained offices, another commercial use, or converted to residential in the future, if the properties were vacated.

Location
Consett, a vibrant market town in County Durham, boasts a population of approximately 29,885 as of the 2021 Census. Situated about 12 miles from Newcastle upon Tyne and 13 miles from Durham, at the junction of the A691/A692, both of which provide the link to the A1(M).

The town has seen significant residential growth, with ongoing and proposed developments from Miller Homes, Persimmon, and Amethyst Homes. We understand Miller Homes has planning for 388 homes north of Delves Lane, while Persimmon has approval for 170 homes east of Knitsley Lane. Amethyst Homes continues to build at Regents Park (off Genesis Way) and has applied for further housing.
