Description
Hexham is a historic and busy market town in Northumberland, with a mix of national and local retail occupiers in its thriving town centre.
Hexham town centre sits within one mile of the dualled portion of the A69 trunk road offering direct access to the A1 and Newcastle upon Tyne approximately 20 miles to the east and Carlisle and the M6 motorway 38 miles to the west.
The property is situated on Cattle Market in the busy retail core of Hexham's town centre to the north side of Priestpopple Street. The property is also adjacent to the pedestrianised Fore Street, the prime retail street in central Hexham, and therefore benefits from significant footfall.
The property is located close to Hexham's main bus station and a short walk from its train station with frequent daily trains east to Newcastle and west to Carlisle.
Hexham has been in a conservation area since 1973 and was last revised in 2009. This to protect the town's high quality historic environment.
Surrounding occupiers include HSBC Bank, Ladbrokes, Greggs, Superdrug, Caffé Nero, Mountain Warehouse, Boots and Costa.
Description
The property comprises a mid-terraced three storey building with brick elevations under a dual-pitched tiled roof.
The ground floor retail space is fully utilised by Specsavers and incorporates retail area, stores and staff amenity areas.
The two upper floors consist of vacant office space which have been divided into a number of individual suites and could therefore be utilised by either a single or multiple tenants.
The offices have been recently refurbished by the landlord with specification including LED lighting, electric heating, carpeting and kitchen/WC facilities.
To the rear of the property, with access from Eastgate, there are 4 car parking spaces which are allocated to Specsavers.
