About this property
Mixed use freehold opportunity
Former café with residential accommodation above
Redevelopment/conversion potential STPP
Prominent position on High Street
Local and Tourist trade
Location
Rothbury is a popular market town situated in the heart of the Northumberland National Park, approximately 26 miles north of Newcastle upon Tyne. The A697 provides access to the nearby towns of Alnwick and Morpeth and also links with the A1 trunk road approximately 8 miles to the east.
Rothbury enjoys a mix of local trade from both the residents of Rothbury, as well as the surrounding villages, but also benefits from tourist trade from those visiting nearby Cragside (National Trust), Coquet Valley and the National Park. Other occupiers in the town include Co-Op, Boots, rspca and a range of other predominantly local traders.
Description
A substantial mixed-use property arranged over basement, ground, first and second floors, occupying a prominent position within the town centre.
Previously operated as a café, the commercial element extends across the ground and first floors, with ancillary basement storage and residential accommodation situated on the second floor. The business has now ceased trading due to retirement, and the property is offered with vacant possession.
The property presents an excellent opportunity for a range of purchasers including owner occupiers, investors, developers or those seeking to convert the building back into a substantial residential dwelling, subject to any necessary consents.
The flexible layout also lends itself to continued commercial use on the lower floors with residential accommodation retained above, offering potential for a live/work arrangement or mixed-use investment opportunity.
