* A FANTASTIC OPPORTUNITY FOR GREAT SIZED FAMILY HOME, BUSINESS OR NEW DEVELOPMENT **
The property is currently a vacant social club with a three bedroom apartment above, this offers great opportunity for anybody looking to upsize their current home and sink their teeth in to a project, open up a business with living quarters already in situ or completely redevelop subject to the necessary planning permissions... the possibilities are endless with this great space!
Formerly "The Crofts" this town centre property is as flexible as it is large. On the one hand it is a development opportunity in the centre of Crook. On the other it occupies a plot of approx 658 sq/m and offers scope for a multitude of uses (Subject to the necessary permission)
A superb opportunity exists for this former social club which has received full planning permission by Durham Council Ref: DM/21/02353/FPA for the demolition of the existing property and erection of 5 houses. Alternatively given its town centre location there is the possibility of securing planning for a variety of commercial uses or potentially apartments/retirement living.
As such, all services are present at site, however buyers must establish the exact location for themselves. Our clients have added some outside space which has provided off street parking for the property.
Location
The immediate area has undergone significant improvement with a new Aldi supermarket being recently constructed in addition to a Lidl supermarket just across the road, and neighbouring properties have been earmarked for development as well.
The market place is just yards away and this historic town also has a number of other businesses, amenities and facilities to boast about.

Further clarification on this must be sought from your legal representative.

An EPC is broadly like the labels provided with domestic appliances such as refrigerators and washing machines. Its purpose is to record how energy efficient a property is as a building. The certificate will provide a rating of the energy efficiency and carbon emissions of a building from A to G, where A is very efficient, and G is inefficient. The data required to allow the calculation of an EPC includes the age and construction of the building, its insulation and heating method. EPCs are produced using standard methods with standard assumptions about energy usage so that the energy efficiency of one building can easily be compared with another building of the same type. The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) requires that all buildings have an EPC when they are marketed for sale or for let, or when houses are newly built. EPCs are valid for 10 years, or until a newer EPC is prepared. During this period the EPC may be made available to buyers or new tenants.
By setting a proxy bid, the system will automatically bid on your behalf to maintain your position as the highest bidder, up to your proxy bid amount. If you are outbid, you will be notified via email so you can opt to increase your bid if you so choose.
If two of more users place identical bids, the bid that was placed first takes precedence, and this includes proxy bids.
Another bidder placed an automatic proxy bid greater or equal to the bid you have just placed. You will need to bid again to stand a chance of winning.
