Dunston Social Club, 81 Ravensworth Road, Gateshead, NE11 9AF

Dunston Social Club is housed in a purpose-built building dating from approximately 1969, when a modern replacement for the original Clavering Avenue premises was officially opened. The structure presents as a solid mid-20th-century social club of brick construction well maintained with a large ground floor public bar and concert / function room, consistent with its long history of events and community use.

Within the building footprint, there is a Ladbrokes betting shop fronting Ravensworth Road, which occupies a separate commercial unit, giving a street-level retail frontage. Internally, the upper floor accommodates a two-bedroom residential flat, providing a selfcontained living space over part of the social club. The remainder of the upper floor is mainly a hall for functions / concerts with public toilet facilities and bar serving area. Overall, the property combines community social-club functions with commercial and residential uses in a well-proportioned and adaptable format.

Dunston Social Club is located on Ravensworth Road, Gateshead, in a predominantly residential part of Dunston on the south bank of the River Tyne. The area is characterised by a mix of traditional terraces and more modern housing, reflecting Dunston’s largely suburban, community-oriented feel. Strategically, Dunston benefits from good transport links (Bus & Metro) with the suburb sitting just a few miles south-west of Newcastle City Centre and less than 1 mile from the A1(M) and within easy reach of the MetroCentre and Team Valley. This proximity combined with the local amenities and the residential character of the area, make the property well placed for both local community engagement and accessibility form the wider Tyneside conurbation.

Occupiers in the nearby and immediate vicinity include Aldi Supermarket, St Oswald’s Hospice, Glenpark Medical Centre, The Dun Cow Hotel and numerous other local / regional operators.
