Front Street, Sunniside, Bishop Auckland, DL13

A property that is as big as it is flexible!

Formerly the Comedian pub, 117 Front Street at Sunniside offers a wealth of potential uses and arrangements. Our clients have started to convert it to a large residential property, however have not finished the project off. Not only is the property itself large (Rough gross internal space around 250Sq M), perhaps big enough to split into two terraced houses with the relevant planning permission, but also the back car park has lapsed outline planning permission for the erection of a pair of semidetached houses (for full information on this please visit the Durham council website and use the planning portal with the reference number DM/18/03058/OUT).

The property itself is stone built and is currently arranged as two large main living rooms to the front, with a kitchen to the rear and a third room, both of which face to the rear. The cellar, which is not full head height, and formerly the location for the beer, can be accessed via stairs leading from the middle reception room. On the first floor however, a lot of the development is done - the five bedrooms have been decorated and two very impressive bathrooms are done.

Sunniside is a small hamlet located in a beautiful rural setting with hills and countryside for miles around making it an ideal place for anyone that likes walking. It has a small number of amenities at hand however more facilities can be found just along the road to nearby Tow Law which has a number of shops, food outlets, pubs, restaurants, schooling and healthcare. The A68 also runs through Tow Law meaning that this property is well placed for anyone that needs to commute.
