Land and Building north of Front Street, Stanley
Key Features
- Built with a traditional double skin external brick wall with a hipped roof.
Description
The subject Property is located within the Leisure and Civic Quarter of the town centre of Stanley. The town has a resident population of approximately 31,000 and benefits from a good range of facilities and amenities.
Stanley is centred on a hilltop between Chester-le-Street (approximately 6-miles to the east) and Consett (approximately 7.3-miles to the west). Stanley was formerly divided into three distinct settlements – the main town of West Stanley and the mining villages of East Stanley and South Stanley. Through a process of gradual expansion, these have become amalgamated into one town, with East and South Stanley no longer officially used as town names (although they are still recognised colloquially).
Description
The Property was built in 1961. It is built with a traditional double skin external brick wall with a hipped roof. It fronts on to Front Street, which is the primary throughfare through the town centre. The Property is bound by the Louisa Centre (Leisure Centre) to the north and highway and public realm to the south, east and west.
