The Wheelhouse is a two-storey detached property with painted external elevations. The site includes a small car park for around ten cars, an enclosed beer garden to the side and trading areas that accommodate approximately one hundred and seventy customers.
There is a three-bedroom operator’s flat on the first floor.
The Wheelhouse is located in the Albany district, just north of Washington town centre, within an established residential area supported by local amenities. The property is approximately 9 miles north‑east of Newcastle upon Tyne accessed easily via the A1 and 7 miles east of central Sunderland which is connected by the Sunderland Highway.
Public transport access is good. Several bus services operate near Windlass Lane and the property is positioned in centrally in a large housing estate and close to a small neighbourhood retail parade making it well placed to benefit from steady local footfall.

Adjacent to the main bar is a large, self‑contained function room, complete with its own bar, suitable for events and private hire.
