A rare freehold commercial opportunity in Seaham: The Knack is a large, recently refurbished two-storey former working men’s club and sports bar occupying approximately 1,300m2 (13,993 ft2). The building retains period character and offers substantial trading space across basement, ground and first floors — including a large bar, games rooms, and an upstairs function room with significant capacity for events.
The property includes three-bedroom manager’s accommodation arranged over two levels, all fixtures and fittings are included in the sale, and the premises hold a premises licence allowing trade until midnight — useful for regular functions. It is currently tenanted and produces an annual rent of £41,600; energy rating B and mains gas heating are positives for operational running costs.
Investors should note material considerations: the site sits in a very deprived area with average crime statistics and limited external yard/garden space. The tenant occupies on a short-term lease and there is no trading information available, so rental growth and immediate trading potential require further enquiry. Business rates are payable (rateable value £16,750; estimated rates about £8,358 currently).
Given its size, prominent street frontage and flexible layout, the property is suited to continued licensed leisure use, conversion to alternate commercial uses, or redevelopment subject to planning. Prospective buyers should verify planning scope, tenancy details, and confirm running costs and service space before exchange.
