Hendon Grange Hotel in Sunderland goes up for sale

The Hendon Grange Hotel in Grangetown, Sunderland, has been operated successfully by the current owners for 31 years, who now wish to sell due to retirement.

It is noted to have 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 match days.

A property listing notes that the pub has been run as a “lifestyle business,” but has significant potential for further development, where a new owner could expand its opening hours and add a food offering and/or letting rooms, subject to necessary planning permissions.

The Hendon Grange Hotel is currently closed and has no trading information available.

The building spans three floors and features a main bar area with bench seating, a pool table, darts, and a wood-panelled bar – there is also a smaller seating area with additional darts facilities.

On the first floor, a function room with its own bar can hold about 120 people and is equipped with a stage, which has been used for weddings and other events in the past.

The basement contains a chilled beer cellar and dry storage.

Private accommodation is included at the rear of the building, spread across three floors.

It offers four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large living room, kitchen, and a private courtyard.

External features include an old stable block and storage area with conversion potential.

The property also includes a full premises licence and is connected to all mains services.

Its current rateable value is listed as £2,200 as of April 2026.

An electronic advertisement on the gable end of the property currently generates an additional £4,000 per year.

Prospective buyers are advised to conduct their own assessments regarding future trading potential and profitability.
