The building of a former beauty store in County Durham has been put up for auction with a guide price of £39,000.

The single-storey property, previously Lime Beauty, is located on Busty Bank in Burnopfield.

Pattinson estate agents describe the premises as a "semi-detached commercial unit", and an "ideal investment opportunity" with potential for various uses, subject to planning permissions.

The property is also being sold with vacant possession.

The Burnopfield location is said to offer "quality transport links" to Gateshead, Newcastle, and Durham, via the A692 road.
