Cafe 16-18, Market Place, Middleton In Teesdale, DL12 0QG

A rare opportunity to re-imagine this impressively large Village landmark: most recently very successful Cafe 1618 and historically the Blue Gentian Gift Shop.

This handsome building sits in the Market Place in a prime position within the town’s Conservation Area, offering a compelling canvas for sensitive redevelopment and a visionary reinterpretation.

To show the flexibility possible a now lapsed Planning Permission was previously granted for change of use and redevelopment into the three original separate dwellings -and also incorporating a two-storey extension to the cottage.

This also presents clear potential to further rethink this scheme and form a single, substantial and unique home, shaped to an individual vision. Available with no onward chain.
