Once-popular South Shields pub goes up for sale for £275,000
A former South Shields pub has been brought to the property market.
The Jolly Steward, on Fulwell Avenue, in South Shields is set to be sold at auction after it was brought to the property market by BTG Eddisons Property Auctions in partnership with Naylors Gavin Black.
The former public house has been listed with a guide price of £275,000 and is set to go under the hammer at auction on Tuesday, March 24.
In December 2024, South Tyneside Council approved plans from One Stop Stores Limited to covert The Jolly Steward into a convenience store.
The development aimed to convert the pub into a retail shop with ancillary staff residential accommodation to the first floor, alterations to the building’s elevations, new ramp structures at entrances and a new air conditioning and refrigeration plant to the rear.
A total of 14 car parking spaces were also proposed, including three resident car parking spaces, two staff parking spaces and nine customer car parking spaces (including two disabled parking bays), along with four cycle spaces.
Ahead of the pub going up for auction, the property listing states: “A freehold development development opportunity comprising a substantial former pub situated on a self contained site extending to a total of 0.25 acres.
Internally the accommodation extends to approximately 325 Sq,M (3,509 Sq.Ft) and is fitted out with a main bar along with two smaller bars and kitchen.
“The first floor comprises residential accommodation with three bedrooms, lounge, kitchen and dining room and externally there is a large car park.

The property is located in the Marsden area of South Shields in South Tyneside.
