An unusual town-centre commercial investment with clear redevelopment potential. The freehold property extends to approximately 196 sq m (2,109 sq ft) over two floors and includes two separate workshop/retail units each with their own electric garage/roller doors. Its central Union Street location provides immediate access to local retail, transport links and multiple amenities.
The building is offered requiring repair and updating throughout — an open-plan ground floor, stair access to a first floor and side electric access door present flexible layouts for continued trade, subdivision or conversion (subject to consents). Mains electric is connected; further services and full renovation will be needed to bring the property to modern standards.
This is a value-led opportunity aimed at investors or small developers able to manage a refurbishment in a more challenged urban market. The site’s strength is its town-centre position and adaptable internal space; the main risks are the building’s dilapidated condition and the surrounding area’s high crime and socioeconomic deprivation, which will affect tenant mix and rental levels.
Viewings and proposals should reflect likely remedial costs and a realistic letting or redevelopment strategy. For buyers able to take on refurbishment and active asset management, the property offers scope to add value in a central Bishop Auckland location.
