The site is rectangular in shape and extends to approximately 0.87 acres (0.35 hectares), outlined red on the supporting plan. It is brownfield in nature accommodating Morpeth Riverside Leisure Centre. The leisure centre comprises a two storey brick-clad building that is surmounted by a mix of flat and aluminium-covered mansard roofs. The main entrance of the building fronts onto New Market to the east with a public car park opposite.
