A substantial freehold high‑street unit in the heart of Linthorpe Road, offered with E Class consent and excellent road frontage. The building totals about 3,125 sq ft over ground and upper floors, providing a large open-plan sales area and extensive storage/ancillary space above. Its corner position and proximity to the University of Teesside generate strong pedestrian footfall, particularly from a large student population nearby.
This property suits an investor or operator seeking a town‑centre retail, leisure or multi‑use opportunity. The former department‑store fabric and Art Deco frontage give character and presence, and adjacent regeneration and residential developments promise rising local convenience demand.
Buyers should note material considerations: the area records very high crime levels and is classified as very deprived, which can affect operating costs and tenant mix. The unit has only on‑street short‑stay parking and the rates and Energy Performance Certificate are being reassessed. Some internal upgrading and fit-out will likely be required to attract higher‑value tenants.
Priced at offers in the region of £475,000 for the freehold, the property is offered with vacant possession/letting potential and flexible future uses subject to planning changes. Investors should verify rateable values, transitional costs and any necessary refurbishment budgets before committing.
