NEW 'ALL-INCLUSIVE' OFFICE SUITES FROM 194 sq ft to 1,465 sq ft
LOCATION
Murton, located in East Durham, is just off the A19 north-south trunk road and is a short drive from Seaham, Peterlee, and Easington.
Situated in the heart of Murton Village, The High House enjoys a prominent location on Church Street, the main road connecting the village to nearby communities such as Hetton-le-Hole and Houghton-le-Spring to the west, and Seaham and the A19 to the east. The site is adjacent to the recently relocated and newly built 4,500 sq ft Co-op Food supermarket, further enhancing its strategic position within the village’s established retail area at the bottom of Woods Terrace.
The High House benefits from its strategic position within an area undergoing significant transformation, with several major developments enhancing the appeal of the location for both residents and businesses. These projects are driving economic growth, improving infrastructure, and attracting new visitors to the region, making the surrounding area increasingly desirable. Key developments include:
Seaham Garden Village is a major new housing development in the area, with planning permission for 1,500 homes granted in 2018, as part of the Seaham Garden Village project. Led by prominent house builders such as Miller Homes and Taylor Wimpey, this ongoing project is delivering a mix of 2, 3, and 4-bedroom homes.
Dalton Park Outlet Mall, which lies between Murton Village and the A19 to the east, offers a variety of retail outlets, restaurants, a Cineworld multi-screen cinema, and a Morrisons supermarket.
Jade Business Park has rapidly developed into a key commercial hub in the region. Phase 1, which delivered 155,000 sq ft of new industrial space, was fully occupied just over eighteen months after practical completion. Phases 2 and 3 are in the final stages of planning and are set to deliver in excess of 500,000 sq ft of additional industrial space, further establishing Murton as an attractive location for businesses.
DESCRIPTION
This prominent commercial property, formerly The High House, has undergone a complete redevelopment, transforming the historic public house into a modern, multi-use building. The ground floor offers three new, high-quality retail units, while the first floor provides ‘all-inclusive’ office accommodation, which have their own independent access off The Crofts. The property also holds cultural significance as the filming location for Ken Loach’s 2023 film, The Old Oak.
Each office has been designed with a clean, bright aesthetic, featuring white-painted walls, ceilings, skirting boards, durable grey carpet tiles, perimeter trunking and energy-efficient LED lighting throughout. The offices are further enhanced by large windows, allowing plenty of natural light to flood each space.
The first floor also benefits from shared kitchen and WC facilities and essential utilities, such as a new utility supply, fire alarm system, and fire-rated ceilings.
Externally, the property features 19 on-site car parking spaces, including 2 accessible bays and 4 EV charging bays, catering to modern requirements.
