Description
A popular long established car service, and repair business, and former petrol filling station. Being offered for sale due to retirement after two generations of the same family, with potential to reintroduce fuel sales, or develop the site for alternative use.
LocationSituated on Neasham Road which links the A66 at the junction with Darlington Rugby Club and the sought-after village of Neasham and Hurworth Road. This is a sought-after area to the south of Darlington, and predominantly rural. Behind the site is an area of light industrial use and also beyond that an attractive and popular holiday lodge/caravan park.
Internal DetailsForecourt area with hard standing to the left and two main buildings. Single storey and mezzanine storey workshop, sales area, manager's office, store room, and staff toilets.
Fixtures & FittingsAll fixtures and fittings by negotiation.
External DetailsThere are 3 fuel pumps to the forecourt area adjacent to the pole sign, and car parking. Beyond the building is a shipping container and further car parking.
Fuel storage tanks are in situ; one of which is approximately 25 years old, single skinned in concrete (22,795). Three stage interceptors.
The site was originally built around 1945, and we understand the road that dissects this site is owned with this property, and properties beyond of which have right of way for their access.
Including fixtures & fittings associated with trade as a car repair, mechanic, and service business, such as a ramp and tyre machine.

The OpportunityAn excellent opportunity for an owner operator mechanic to acquire their own business working for themselves, with the various benefits that brings. Alternatively the site could be used for alternate use, and reinstate diesel/petrol sales.
