Old Cleveland police station site comes to market for investors and businesses

Businesses and investors have been given the opportunity to buy a former police station in Thornaby.

The former police station - built in the 1970s on a 0.41 acre site - served the Thornaby community until its closure two years ago.

The site is located on the south side of Millbank Lane, about a quarter of a mile from Thornaby’s town centre, and has frontage onto Martinet Road as well as Millbank Lane.

Dodds Brown, Teesside’s independent commercial property consultancy, has now been appointed to market the site with buildings for sale.

Richard Brown, partner at Dodds Brown, said that the company is “delighted to be involved in the sale of this site, which has excellent potential for a development opportunity as well as for a number of alternative uses.”

The main building is a single-storey for offices, interview or meeting rooms. Outside there are garages and stand-alone buildings which were once used as stores.

The station is in a mixed commercial and residential area where there has been regeneration of the locality, with many residential developments having recently been completed.
