Broadgates, Hexham, Northumberland, NE46

LOCATION

Hexham is a thriving market town in Northumberland, lying adjacent to the A69 Trans-Pennine route, which provides access to the A1 trunk road some 20 miles to the east. Carlisle lies around 38 miles to the west and Newcastle upon Tyne City centre around 23 miles to the east. The town also lies on the main railway line between Newcastle upon Tyne and Carlisle and is an important retail, commercial and tourist centre. The property also lies within the Hexham conservation area. The property is located alongside a pedestrian alleyway off Broadgate, which runs directly behind the rear perimeter wall of the old bus station on Priestpopple.

DESCRIPTION

The property comprises a two-storey semi-detached building of brick construction under a pitched slate covered roof. Access into the property is via the side alley. As the site is somewhat sloping, steps lead up to the door which provides access to the upper floor. The upper floor has laminate floors, plastered and painted walls and ceilings with exposed beams and adjustable spotlights. The property also features single glazed timber framed windows. Stairs lead to the floor below, which is similar in terms of finishes and benefits from electric panel radiators. The property has been vacant for quite some time and would benefit from refurbishment.
