About this property

  • Investment Opportunity – Two Retail Units, Front Street, Pelton, DH2

Location

The property occupies a prominent position on Front Street, within the centre of Pelton, a well-established village approximately 2 miles west of Chester-le-Street and within close proximity to the A693 and A1(M), providing easy access to Durham, Newcastle, and the wider North East region.

Front Street forms Pelton’s principal retail and commercial thoroughfare, hosting a mix of national and local occupiers including Co-Operative Food (opposite the subject property), takeaway operators, convenience stores, hair and beauty salons, and professional service providers. The location benefits from steady pedestrian footfall, local trade, and a strong surrounding residential catchment.
