Description

Location:
The Hendon Grange Hotel is located in Grangetown in the city of Sunderland, south of the River Wear, close to Sunderland AFC's Stadium of Light. Set in an area of the North East which enjoys stunning views towards the North Sea, this is a region which is undergoing a huge transformation and The Hendon Grange Hotel is well-placed to take advantage of this. Given the size of the building, there is lots of scope to redevelop the site (subject to planning consent).

The property is a large, detached building over three floors. It is of brick construction under a new slate roof and briefly comprises:

Property:
TRADE AREAS:
GROUND FLOOR:
Entrance from the front into the MAIN BAR area. This is a large, open plan space with bench seating, pool table, a darts throw and a wooden floor. A wood panelled and topped BAR SERVERY spans the entire length of the pub.
LADIES’ and GENTLEMEN’S TOILETS adjacent.

Located to the rear is a smaller seating area with wooden tables, chairs and a darts area.

FIRST FLOOR:
Large FUNCTION ROOM with seating for approximately 120. This room has a stage and its own characterful bar servery. This is an excellent space for weddings and other events.

LADIES’ AND GENTLEMEN’S TOILETS.

BASEMENT:
A below ground, chilled BEER CELLAR and dry STORAGE AREA.

OWNERS ACCOMMODATION:
Located to the rear of the building is the private accommodation, spanning three floors and comprising: FOUR BEDROOMS, TWO BATHROOMS and a spacious LIVING ROOM leading into a KITCHEN. Private courtyard beyond.

EXTERNAL:
To the rear is an old STABLE BLOCK and STORAGE AREA that has the potential to be converted. There is also rear access to the private courtyard.

Licence:
A full Premises Licence is held.

Services:
All mains services are connected.
Current rateable value from 1 April 2026 to present: £2,200
Local Authority: Sunderland City Council, City Hall, Sunderland, SR1 3AH

Business:
The business has been operated successfully by the current owners for 31 years and now wishes to sell due to retirement. It has provided a fantastic service to the local community and residents of the surrounding area, with many people visiting the pub to watch the football on game days. The Hendon Grange has been run as a lifestyle business by our clients but has huge potential for growth; a new owner could expand its opening hours and add a food offering and/or letting rooms. Alternatively, the premises might suit change of use, subject to necessary planning permissions. The gable end electronic advertisement also generates £4,000 per annum.

The business is currently closed, therefore no trading information is available. Prospective purchasers will need to reach their own conclusion as to the potential trade and profitability which can be enjoyed at this outlet.
