A popular garage near Darlington has hit the market, being put up for sale for £895,000.

Oxford Garage in Hurworth which has been run by the same owners since 2002, is listed by VURV Estates & Property Management.

The current owners of the garage are looking to retire and are also said to be considering selling the business separately from the premises as well.

Described as a garage with a 'loyal' customer base, set in a sought-after village location, VURV is advertising a business opportunity that includes MOTs, servicing, car sales, and a large workshop with a WC.

Totalling just under 5,000 sq ft, the premises also feature a main office, showroom, tyre store, customer reception area, and a mezzanine canteen/storage room.

Parking is also available at the front of the building.
