Another great Ernest Wilson review

Sold in 8 days!!!

Dear Jonathan,

Re: Former Mr Nice Guys Takeaway, 16a Stainbeck Avenue, Leeds, LS7 2PA

I just wanted to drop you a quick note to thank your colleagues and yourself for the speedy way that you have managed to complete the transaction.

When my tenant left, I was worried that the property was going to be empty for months meaning I would lose out on rental.

You will recall that it was only 8 days ago when I handed you the keys and instructed you to find a new tenant and today it has all completed and you even managed to get me a substantial lease premium.

Once again many thanks and I will certainly be recommending your services to my fellow business colleagues.

Mr Z wierzewicz

SOLD - Cafe Delight, York

 CAFÉ AND SANDWICH BAR in York

Super café and sandwich bar which occupies a PRIME TRADING POSITION on the fringe of York city centre. The business achieves a healthy weekly turnover on relatively easy hours over a 6 day week but could in our opinion do very much more, particularly in developing a delivery trade. Recently established, this business has shown excellent growth which continues and is only reluctantly offered for sale as it is now too busy for our client due to her other commitments. The premises briefly comprise: beautifully fitted and superbly equipped premises offering a 24 cover dining area with good security and open plan kitchen area with good extraction. Preparation room and pot wash room to the rear. Business on lease. Ref: 557529

Lovely mention of Nora Battys Cottage sale in the Huddersfield Examiner

One of the best-known pieces of television history – Nora Batty’s cottage in Holmfirth – has finally been sold.

The two-bedroom property attained fame through its use in dozens of episodes of Last of the Summer Wine, the world’s longest-running sitcom which ran from 1973 to 2010.

 
It has been sold to Richard and Loretta Skelton as a rental business rather than a residential home.

Owner Neil Worthington, who bought the cottage in 2004 for £80,000, had previously failed to find an interested buyer since putting it on the market.



It was sold by Leeds-based Ernest Wilson with a guide price of £169,950. The house includes props from the show with signed photographs of the cast and crew.

The home, which still has all its original Nora Batty features, is currently a self-catering rental property and is in demand among fans of the show as a holiday retreat.

Nora was television’s most famous battleaxe who quickly became one of the small screen’s best-loved characters.

She became well-known for her wrinkled stockings, hair rollers and fearsome frown.

The advert for the cottage states: ‘An opportunity to acquire this world famous cottage property in the Last of the Summer Wine TV series and situated in the heart of this bustling town which attracts thousands of tourists and visitors.’

 Asked if the series still attracted people, Loretta said: “Judging by the constant stream of people who come and gawp at it on nice days and have their photographs taken I would say yes.
“We’ve added some new touches including a new pair of bloomers which Nora was famous for and which we are putting on the clothes line.
“We have had bookings from all over the country including four people from Blackpool as well as some people from Scotland and down south.”

Richard, 55, who used to work for Yorkshire TV in the 1980s, added: “We are going to carry it on as a holiday let.
“The idea is for it to provide an income for us as we wind down.”

The cottage is nestled among other famous sites used in the series including Sid’s Cafe, The White Horse pub and the steps that Compo ran up.

It attracts visitors from all over the world particularly American tourists who can’t get enough of the show’s ambience.
