20 - 22 Priestpopple, Hexham

Notes

Grade II listed building in Hexham town centre which had historically housed part of a hotel. Most latterly, the ground floor has been utilised as a public house and a bank. The upper floors are vacant, last being used as function rooms and ancillary space for the hotel. In June 2024, an application was permitted to convert part of the building into 8 apartments (23/03899/FUL). The proposal also included works for a change of use of the ground floor bar to a retail unit or cafe. The Halifax Bank would remaining in situ and would be unaffected by the proposals. This involves the conversion of the first and second floors of the vacant buildings, providing 1- and 2-bed apartments. The scheme also proposes the change of use of a ground-floor bar into a commercial unit. Works yet to commence, but the overall scheme is considered deliverable in the coming five years.
