Rookhope Business Centre

If you’re searching for office space to rent in a truly unique and inspiring location, Rookhope Business Centre offers the perfect opportunity. Set in the heart of the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this beautifully refurbished centre provides a peaceful yet practical base for businesses that value both productivity and surroundings.


The site features five flexible office and workspace units, ranging from 194 sq ft to 807 sq ft, ideal for start-ups, remote workers, creatives and growing enterprises. Each unit has been thoughtfully designed to support modern business needs in a rural setting.


The building also includes two adaptable community rooms—a spacious area for training or workshops and a smaller hot-desking room—alongside a communal kitchen (tea point) and a potential book-swap or library corner to help foster a welcoming and collaborative environment.


A standout feature is the takeaway kitchen unit, available to rent separately. Equipped with a hot water zip boiler, fridge, freezer, and external seating, it’s perfectly placed to serve passing cyclists and walkers on the popular C2C (Coast to Coast) route—offering a brilliant business opportunity in an area with regular footfall.

Despite its tranquil setting, Rookhope is surprisingly well connected:

  • 25 miles from Durham

  • 37 miles from Newcastle

  • 48 miles from Middlesbrough

  • 47 miles from Carlisle

Rookhope Business Centre combines natural beauty with business practicality—offering modern office space to rent in one of County Durham’s most scenic and uplifting locations. Whether you’re looking to grow your business, escape the city, or serve the active tourism community, this is your chance to join something special.
