Development Opportunity

Situated in the heart of Crookhill, Ryton, the Co-op Buildings enjoy a prime position along the well-regarded Hexham Old Road. This sought-after area combines the charm of a residential neighbourhood with the convenience of excellent local amenities. Residents benefit from easy access to nearby shops, schools, and parks, while the vibrant town centre of Ryton is just minutes away, offering a wider range of services, cafes, and community facilities. Excellent transport links make commuting straightforward, with regular bus routes and close proximity to the A1 and A695, providing efficient connections to Newcastle, Gateshead, and beyond. The surrounding area is rich in green spaces, including the scenic Tyne Riverside Country Park, making it ideal for families, professionals, and outdoor enthusiasts alike.

We are pleased to bring to the market this substantial detached, three-storey former Co-op building, located in the popular area of Crookhill. This development opportunity comes with the benefit of full planning permission for conversion into six 2-bedroom apartments, two 1-bedroom apartments, and one 2-bedroom house. Works are already well underway, with progress made on-site. Developments include installation of a new roof complete with Velux windows on the east wing, construction of internal blockwork, and the laying of foundations and pipework for the approved extension. A number of materials are already in place, offering a solid head start for continued development. This is an exceptional opportunity for developers or investors to complete a project in a sought-after location, with strong demand for residential accommodation.
