We are delighted to offer to the market via the Agents Property Auction this substantial two-storey detached sandstone building with a pitched slate roof, prominently situated on St Mary’s Street, Blackhill. The building is still in use and is presented to a fair standard throughout, comprising various classrooms, a kitchen, offices, WC facilities and storage areas. There is also a small office on the first floor that has been inspected; however, the remainder of the first floor has been boarded off and could not be accessed for inspection. Externally, the property benefits from ample private parking and a garden area to the side, providing additional outdoor space and flexibility of use. The building is being sold with vacant possession, although it is currently occupied and operated by Kaydar Services as a day-care and residential support facility. The property offers excellent potential for a variety of alternative uses, subject to obtaining the appropriate planning consent and use class

The property is prominently situated on St Mary’s Street in the heart of Blackhill, Consett, a well-established area within County Durham. This convenient location offers excellent accessibility and visibility, positioned just off the main A691 and A692 routes that connect Consett to Durham, Newcastle upon Tyne, and Stanley. The surrounding area is a thriving local centre with a mix of independent shops, cafes, and services, contributing to a steady flow of pedestrian and vehicular traffic. Nearby amenities include supermarkets, schools, and community facilities, making it a practical and attractive setting for a range of commercial or mixed-use purposes.
