Summary - 14 NEW DURHAM ROAD, ANNFIELD PLAIN DH9 7UQ
6 bed 6 bath Hotel
Versatile freehold property with ensuites, central village location and rear parking for three vehicles.
Six double/single bedrooms each with ensuite bathrooms
This mid-terraced, late-Victorian property in the centre of Annfield Plain is a rare freehold C1-classified guesthouse with six bedrooms, each with ensuite, and three reception rooms. The layout and existing guesthouse compliance make it immediately suitable for continuing as a small hotel/guesthouse or converting back to a large private home or multi-let. Practical features include a rear yard providing off-street parking for up to three cars and a built-in fire alarm system.
The building retains original character such as bay windows, high ceilings and decorative fireplaces, yet also offers modern touches in the galley kitchen and ensuite fittings. Heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators; windows are double glazed (install date unknown). The property is presented as a sensible blank canvas for cosmetic updating and redecoration rather than a full structural rebuild.
Important factual considerations: the area scores as deprived with higher-than-average local crime, and the plot is small with limited outdoor amenity. The sandstone/limestone walls are likely uninsulated and the current EPC rating is D — further insulation or energy upgrades may be needed to improve running costs and compliance. Buyers should allow budget for targeted works rather than assuming a turnkey investment.
For investors, the C1 classification and six ensuites shorten the route back to income-producing use; for an owner-occupier, the flexible layout supports multi-generational living or a large family requiring separate living and sleeping wings. The property is offered at a competitive price for the DH9 market, close to local shops, supermarkets and bus links, with schools and healthcare nearby. Viewings are recommended to assess condition and income or conversion potential firsthand.
