Property Description

Situated just off Hexham’s high street on Battle Hill, this rare Georgian stone building spans 227 square metres of versatile accommodation over three floors. Steeped in history, and once linked to Fentimans Ltd, it retains subtle nods to the iconic beverage brend while showcasing authentic period character.

The property is immediately serviceable to support business needs or as a lucrative opportunity for residential conversion with previous planning permissions approved. The building benefits from its original stone solid walls offering excellent structural integrity and is complemented by mains utilities including gas central heating, mains electricity, water, and drainage.

Granted Class E (formerly B1) consent, the building comes complete with business-standard lab and office facilities. A significant upside lies in its residential conversion potential: previous planning approvals encompassed three Class C3 apartments, alongside separate permissions for three three-storey residential lots, presenting an attractive redevelopment opportunity with an already renovated top floor apartment.
