Worley said: “This is a great opportunity for a buyer to acquire a stylish hospitality business in the centre of this beautiful and historic city, with its stunning castle, the picturesque River Wear, and the jaw-dropping cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage site, all within a short walk.
“As well as being a huge draw for tourism, Durham also boasts a highly regarded university, which helps to further swell visitor numbers, and the Townhouse is perfectly positioned to take full advantage.”
