A former Darlington pub and residential property has hit the market - and it could be yours for £155,000.

The Central Borough, which has five addresses at 1, 3, and 5 on Farrer Street and 11 and 12 on Hopetown Lane - is now up for sale as a “superb opportunity” for a new buyer. 

The pub - which has been closed for several years - is described as a potential redevelopment opportunity in a “pleasing position” in the town. 

Also involved in the former public house sale is a three-bedroomed end-terraced home, which address is on Farrer Street. 

The news of the listing comes several years after plans were green-lit by Darlington Council to transform the building into six apartments and two homes in 2018. 

However, this never came to fruition, and the planning permission has since lapsed.  

The listing, marketed by Denham Properties, states that the former Central Borough pub part of the listing requires “a full programme of refurbishment”.

Meanwhile, the residential property, which is located on Farrer Street, has accommodation over two floors and features an entrance hallway, a lounge, a kitchen and breakfast room, a cloakroom, three bedrooms and a family bathroom.

There is also a gravelled garden at the rear of the property. 

The listing notes how the property is both a walking distance to local shops and amenities at both Cockerton Village and Darlington town centre as well as being close to the A1(M). 

Denham Properties state: “This property will appeal to a wide variety of purchasers and we would therefore recommend viewings at the earliest opportunity to avoid disappointment.”
