Location
6-8 Main Street occupies a prominent position within the heart of Crawcrook, a well-established village located to the west of Gateshead and approximately 10 miles from Newcastle upon Tyne. The property is situated on Main Street, the village’s principal commercial thoroughfare, which benefits from a mix of independent retailers, service businesses and residential housing, generating regular footfall and passing trade. Crawcrook serves a large surrounding residential population and is closely linked to the neighbouring communities of Ryton, Greenside and Stella, providing a strong local customer base. The area benefits from good road communications via the A695, offering convenient access to Newcastle, Gateshead, Hexham and the wider Tyne Valley.

The property comprises a versatile mixed-use opportunity with a ground floor retail unit fronting Main Street together with a self-contained bungalow. The location is ideally suited to an owner occupier seeking live/work accommodation, while also offering investment potential through the letting of both the residential and commercial elements. Local amenities, schools, public transport services and recreational facilities are all within easy walking distance, making this an attractive and convenient setting for both residential and business use.

Description
A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial mixed-use property comprising a spacious one-bedroom bungalow together with a self-contained retail unit, occupying a prominent position on Main Street in the heart of Crawcrook.

Constructed of traditional red brick beneath a pitched roof, the property is presented to an excellent standard throughout and offers versatile accommodation extending to approximately 82.64 sq. m. (889.52 sq. ft.). The residential element comprises a well-appointed and deceptively spacious bungalow featuring a modern fitted kitchen, generous living accommodation, double bedroom and bathroom, all finished to a high standard.

The adjoining retail unit is currently operated as a successful pet supplies shop and benefits from an attractive glazed frontage onto Main Street. The premises would suit a variety of retail, professional service or business uses, subject to any necessary consents, and currently qualifies for 100% Small Business Rates Relief, subject to occupier status.

Externally, the property benefits from secure off-street parking to the rear together with a low-maintenance enclosed garden area. The combination of residential and commercial accommodation makes the property ideally suited to an owner-occupier seeking a live/work opportunity, whilst also presenting an attractive investment proposition with potential to generate income from both elements. The property is offered for sale due only to the owners’ planned relocation, representing a genuine opportunity to acquire a well-maintained mixed-use asset in an established village centre location.
