Description
The property comprises a modern, self-contained, two-storey office building of brick construction with timber-framed double-glazed windows under a pitched slate roof.
The layout provides office accommodation on both floors, together with integrated kitchen and WC facilities. The Ground Floor is suitable for reception, open-plan use or a meeting room setup, while the First Floor offers additional office space with potential for private rooms or directors’ offices.
Landlord works are due to be carried out to the exterior, including replacement UPVC windows, new entrance doors, and cladding to the elevations.
Location
City West Business Park is situated on St. John’s Road, the main thoroughfare through Meadowfield Industrial Estate, a well-established and popular business location approximately 2.5 miles southwest of Durham City. The estate lies between Tyneside and Teesside, with Newcastle around 20 miles to the north and Middlesbrough 25 miles southeast.
Access to the wider region is excellent, with the A167 nearby and the A1(M) accessible via Junction 61. Public transport connections are also strong, with regular Arriva bus services (X46 and 49A) stopping at the entrance to St. John’s Road. Durham City offers mainline rail links across the UK.
Terms
The quoting rent and price reflect the property following completion of the landlord’s external improvement works. The property will then be available to let by way of a new efri lease for a term of years to be agreed, at £15,000 pax.
Alternatively, our client will consider a sale on a new long leasehold basis at a price of £145,000. Further details are available on request.
