Chester le Street is a historic market town in County Durham, situated on the banks of the River Wear. The town is centrally located between Newcastle upon Tyne and Durham and benefits from excellent road communications, being located a short distance from the A1(M). Rail communications are also very good with the town having a station on the East Coast Main Line, with a journey time of approximately 3 hrs to London Kings Cross.

The property occupies a prominent position on the corner of Red Rose Terrace at the junction with Ropery Lane and Front Street. This is a highly visible and busy location in a mixed commercial and residential area with Chester le Street Hospital lying opposite and Chester le Street Cricket Club to the rear. The property is conveniently located for access to the town’s public transport services and a number of pay and display car parks as well as being a short walk from Riverside Park, Lumley Castle and the Emirates Durham International Cricket Ground.

 

The property comprises an attractive two storey, traditional brick constructed building beneath a slate covered roof. The building was most recently used as a Working Mens Club and provides accommodation at ground and first floor with an additional cellar and external storage area at the rear.

Access is via Ropery Lane and the premises benefit from an external seating area to the front and roof terrace as well as having mains electricity and water.

Internally the property provides a central bar at ground floor with three large open plan areas and WC facilities. First floor is accessed via a staircase within the entrance lobby and provides a large open plan area with bar, stage, WC facilities and managers office.

The existing configuration would suit a restaurant or bar operator, but the property may be suitable for a variety of other uses (subject to planning).
