The Wheelhouse

Description

The Wheelhouse is a two-storey detached property with painted external elevations. The site includes a small car park for around ten cars, an enclosed beer garden to the side and trading areas that accommodate approximately one hundred and seventy customers. There is a three-bedroom operator’s flat on the first floor.

Location

The Wheelhouse is located in the Albany district, just north of Washington town centre, within an established residential area supported by local amenities. The property is approximately 9 miles north‑east of Newcastle upon Tyne accessed easily via the A1 and 7 miles east of central Sunderland which is connected by the Sunderland Highway. Public transport access is good. Several bus services operate near Windlass Lane and the property is positioned in centrally in a large housing estate and close to a small neighbourhood retail parade making it well placed to benefit from steady local footfall.

Internal Details

The ground floor provides a well‑laid‑out trading area, centred around a lounge bar with a central bar servery and there is also a small raised seating area offering additional covers. Adjacent to the main bar is a large, self‑contained function room, complete with its own bar, suitable for events and private hire. Ancillary areas on the ground floor include customer WCs, cellar and storage space.

Fixtures & Fittings

We are advised that the majority of fixtures and fittings are owned outright and will be included in the sale, subject to an inventory.

Owners Accommodation

The first floor offers good‑quality manager’s accommodation, comprising a three‑bedroom flat.
