Situated on Sunderland Road in the popular area of Gilesgate, the property occupies a prominent position directly opposite Sainsbury’s Local and the Esso St Giles filling station, benefiting from strong passing traffic and footfall.
Durham City Centre is approximately 1 mile to the west, while Belmont Industrial Estate and Dragonville Retail Park are close by, where occupiers include Tesco Extra, Lidl, Aldi, Greggs and McDonald’s.
The property enjoys excellent road connections via the A690 and A1(M), together with several frequent bus services serving the immediate area.
The property comprises a ground floor retail unit of traditional brick construction with an attractive timber-framed frontage beneath a dual-pitched slate roof, with a flat roof over the rear extension. Prominent display windows provide excellent natural light and strong roadside visibility.
The premises are currently fitted out as a hair and beauty salon, with a mix of treatment rooms and open areas. While the current layout is relatively cellular, the property was previously used as an open-plan dance studio, offering scope for reconfiguration to suit a range of occupiers.
Internally, the unit benefits from modern lighting, quality flooring, fitted cabinetry with wash stations, and a rear staff area with kitchen and WC facilities.
