A freehold commercial investment in Darlington producing £3,250PCM (£39,000PA) let to Holland and Barrett for a term of 5 years commencing 12th April 2025, offered within the town centre and forming part of an attractive listed building. Arranged across the building, the accommodation offers substantial commercial space extending to 4,857 sq ft, with a prominent trading frontage at street level and further accommodation above to provide a sizeable and versatile layout for ongoing commercial use.

Its strongest external attribute is the excellent street frontage, placing the property directly within a busy central position and giving it strong presence along Northgate.

With tenants in situ from the outset, this is a ready-made opportunity that may particularly appeal to investors seeking an income-producing commercial asset in a central setting. The listed building status adds architectural character and presence, helping to distinguish the property within the street scene.

Positioned in an urban setting right in the heart of Darlington, the property is exceptionally well placed for day-to-day convenience, with the town centre just 0.2 miles away and Darlington railway station 0.5 miles away for wider rail connections. Everyday amenities are close at hand, including Iceland, M&S and Tesco, all within 0.1 miles, while The Red Lion and Crown Buttery & Restaurant add to the choice of nearby places to eat and meet. Blacketts Medical Practice, a hospital and leisure facilities are all close by, and the area is also served by Corporation Road Community Primary School, Queen Elizabeth Sixth Form College and McNay Street Sure Start Children's Centre.

Altogether, this is a substantial town-centre commercial holding in a recognised position, combining income from day one with the long-term appeal of a characterful listed building.
