This freehold site comprises a former social club of approximately 246.9 sq m (2,658 sq ft) in a prominent corner position in Chester Le Street. Planning permission has been granted for demolition and construction of four semi‑detached houses, offering a clear redevelopment route for small-scale residential development. The building is vacant and asbestos has been professionally removed.
The plot sits within a predominantly residential area with fast broadband and a range of local amenities and schools nearby. The site could suit a developer or investor seeking a modest urban scheme with planning in place, reducing early-stage consenting risk. The location is described as affluent overall, with good public transport links and local services within walking distance.
Buyers should note the building is derelict with roof damage and will require demolition as per the planning consent; the plot is relatively small for the proposed scheme. Crime is reported as above average locally, and buyers should confirm tenure details and any local authority covenants or obligations given the property’s ex-council history. All statements should be verified through legal and technical due diligence prior to purchase.
