Description The Property This is a rare and exciting opportunity to purchase an historic building in Hexham, which dates back to the 1700s and is believed to be one of the oldest properties in the town. The property currently provides commercial office space on three floors with laboratories on the ground floor and administrative offices on the first and second floors but there is undoubted scope for a range of commercial uses. Historically, the property has been a tea warehouse and an antique shop and the right hand side is believed to have been a residential dwelling; there may be an opportunity to convert the building into residential dwelling subject to the necessary consents. The property has been renovated in recent years yet retains original features and character including exposed stone floors on the ground floor, stripped floor boards on the upper floors, exposed beams and painted brick internal walls.
