The former police station on Castle Bank, Morpeth has come to market for £3.25m, complete with planning permission to develop 32 luxury homes in the town centre.
The station was sold off back in 2015 in a bid to slash Northumbria Police's budget, and the site has stood empty since.
Developer Enviro Property Partners submitted plans in 2017 to Northumberland County Council to create 32 residential properties on the town centre site.

Neil Hart, Group Managing Director at Bradley Hall Chartered Surveyors and Estate Agents which is marketing it, said: “This development offers an extremely rare opportunity to deliver high quality houses and apartments within Morpeth town centre.
“The site benefits from planning permission for 32 dwellings in a mix of high quality houses and apartments. These homes could be ideally suited to the discerning family purchaser or downsizers looking to relocate to this prominent town centre location.
“This is, arguably, the most exciting scheme to come forward in Morpeth in decades.”
The original planning statement in 2017 said: “The proposals seek to recreate the elegance of the Victorian architecture whilst being read as a distinctly contemporary addition.
“The scheme will deliver economic, social and environmental benefits and will encourage the effective reuse of a brownfield site and deliver a high-quality housing development within a sustainable location.
“The scheme will enhance the character and appearance of the Morpeth Conservation Area and the setting of the Grade II Listed Morpeth Court House.”
The development consists of the refurbishment and change of use of the former police building, garages and stables into six apartments and one house.
It also includes the demolition of workshops, rear police building and former police houses for the new build construction of 18 apartments and seven houses.
