A popular County Durham takeaway has been put on the market for £225,000.

Gills Golden Takeaway, located on Front Street, Station Town, Wingate, has been serving locals since 1977 and is now up for sale on a secure bidding basis after the current owner made clear their desire to retire.

Estate agents, Pattinsons, describe the property as an end terraced traditional build, comprising a ground floor retail unit.

Previously, the unit was two separate spaces, but it now operates as a fish and chip/hot food takeaway, also licensed for the sale of alcohol.

Notably, the sale includes a five-bedroom family home, accessed from the side of the property.

The home features a lounge/dining area and family kitchen on the ground floor, with five bedrooms and two bathrooms on the first floor.

There is additional space on the third floor.

Pattinsons highlight that the takeaway boasts an "extensive inventory of equipment" and offers a varied menu of "premium quality" fish and chip meals, pizzas, kebabs, and burgers.
