About this property
Grade II Listed Ground Floor Commercial Premises
Prominent position on High Street
Local and tourist trade
Rent £15,500 per annum
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
The property comprises a prominent three-storey terraced building of traditional stone construction beneath a pitched slate roof. The upper floors are accessed via a separate, independent entrance and are not included within the property.
The available accommodation comprises the ground floor, formerly occupied by Lloyds Bank, which has recently been stripped out and refurbished to provide a versatile open-plan space.
The premises are accessed via attractive wooden double doors leading into a spacious main sales area, benefiting from impressive ceiling heights of approximately 3.46m, new lighting, and excellent natural light via large windows fronting the high street. The space retains a number of character features, including ornate cornicing, in keeping with the building's Grade II Listed status.
Off the main area is a secondary room suitable for a variety of uses such as an office, treatment room or private dining area (subject to planning). To the rear, a corridor (truncated)
