Summary - 23 COMMERCIAL STREET BRANDON DURHAM DH7 8PL
1 bed 1 bath Restaurant
Established fish & chip takeaway with two-bed maisonette — owner-occupier or investment potential.
Freehold £175,000 or leasehold £30,000 (rent £19,200 pa)
A rare mixed-use opportunity in Brandon: a long-established fish & chip takeaway with a self-contained two-bedroom maisonette. The business has traded since 2008 and benefits from loyal local custom, a prominent street frontage and free on-street parking. The shop achieved a Food Hygiene Rating of 5 and the EPC is D.
The ground floor is fully equipped for traditional counter and telephone sales, while the maisonette offers private front and rear access — suitable for owner occupation or letting to generate additional income. The premises total approximately 122 sq. m. (1,313 sq. ft.), with compact rear/service space typical of terraced commercial units.
The property is offered freehold at £175,000 or leasehold at £30,000 with an annual rent of £19,200. Current trade is focused on counter and phone orders, so growth requires investment in online ordering/delivery or marketing to expand reach. The business currently runs under management with part-time staff, which supports an owner-operator transition.
Location factors are mixed: Brandon is a busy residential area three miles from Durham city centre with steady local footfall and good transport links, but local area deprivation is high and recorded crime is above average — these are practical considerations for operating hours, staffing and security. Overall this is a straightforward, established food business with immediate trading potential and clear, achievable routes to grow sales.
