The furniture retailer has agreed a new 10-year lease for the recently refurbished 40,117 sq ft (3,727 sq m) warehouse, which is owned by Legal & General.

Follingsby Park is located close to the commercial centres of Newcastle, Gateshead, Sunderland and Washington. It fronts on to the A194(M), with direct access from the Follingsby/A195 motorway junction.

Dave Robinson, industrial director at Savills, comments: "We are pleased to have supported the ongoing expansion of DFS by securing this high quality industrial shed which offers easy access to the UK's motorway network."
