A former Darlington bar and nightclub which previously attracted hundreds of revellers has hit the market and can be snapped up for only £200,000.

JJ's, on Crown Street, Darlington, closed in 2018 but is up for sale with a variety of possible future uses, including the potential to be revived as a bar and nightclub space. 

The two-storey property, which is priced at £200,000, has a 2.30am weekend licence and could be returned to its former glory as a thriving bar, or the potential new owners can explore its other uses.

Here are the images of the venue:
