A unique opportunity to secure two adjoining properties in a large site with exceptional renovation, restoration or development potential in the heart of the UK’s highest market town.
It is very rare for any development site to come up in Alston, so H&H Land & Estates are delighted to be able to offer buyers not one but two potential project opportunities in this noted part of the North Pennines, an designated Area of Outstanding National Beauty.
With a total area of just under an acre, the most sizeable site comprises a former commercial garage premises with a large yard, lock-up garages and a range of brick-built outbuildings. Located next to a local school and the Alston Hospital, the site offers enormous potential either for development as a business in its current form or redevelopment for a wide variety of uses including residential accommodation. The Eden District Council Local Plan confirms the site is allocated for brownfield housing development for an estimated 11 units.
The Garage Premises in Alston is offered For Sale by Private Treaty at a Guide Price of £195,000
The second offering, with a guide price of £30,000, is a substantial three-storey stone building set in the Alston Conservation Area, immediately adjoining the garage site outbuildings. Previously used as a café, with residential accommodation on the first and second floors, the building presents the rarest opportunity for a complete and sympathetic restoration. This former café has long formed part of the landscape and heritage of the community of Alston. This property can be viewed on Saturday 3rd May between 11am and 2pm.

H&H Land & Estates Associate Director, Jonathan Hird says the combination of the beautiful and historic Alston location and the realistic sale prices make both properties particularly attractive to the right buyers. “Alston itself is one of the best kept secrets in the North Pennines. It’s an absolutely charming market town full of history, green spaces with the North Pennies right on your doorstop and also within close proximity to the Lake District. The properties we are offering are very different, and each of them will appeal to different markets, but both of them will attract very keen attention from renovators and developers.”
Viewings are strictly by appointment only. For more information contact H&H Land & Estates on 01228 406260 to book an appointment, or for more information.
