The asking price for the old railway station building on Railway Street in Newcastle has fallen by £300,000 since the start of the year. The property, which previously housed a Lidl store, is now being marketed at £1.65 million.

In January, estate agent Osborne King had sought offers over £1.95 million for the 1.1-acre site. Following Savills' acquisition of Osborne King in April, the updated sales brochure reflects the lower price. The property is described as a redevelopment opportunity.

The building comprises a red brick Victorian railway station dating from around 1905. It features a central three-storey tower with a B1 listing, flanked by two single-storey pitched-roof structures, one of which was once a public house. The tower was added to the list of protected buildings in 1977.

A modern single-storey extension with a pitched cladded roof has been added to the rear. The site includes secure parking for approximately 65 vehicles and service access via the rear car park.

The Department for Communities' Historical Buildings Database notes that the tower was built as the centrepiece of the railway station entrance and that its design is unusually proportioned. The database also records that the building's façade has undergone considerable alterations over time.
