Railway Hotel, Bridge Street, Morpeth, Northumberland

A substantial detached three-storey stone building standing in a prominent position on Bridge Street, a short walk from the centre of Rothbury. It formerly traded as The Railway Hotel, with a bar, restaurant and letting rooms, and is one of the last reminders of the town’s railway era. The property extends to approximately 465 square metres (5,012 square feet) and stands on a site of about 0.163 acres, including a separate garden plot to the rear.

The building has fallen into disrepair and now requires a full programme of modernisation throughout. It offers a rare opportunity for buyers looking for a project of real scale and character. Subject to the necessary planning consents, it could suit a number of uses, including:

reopening as a hotel, inn or restaurant
a single large residence
commercial, retail or mixed-use premises
