RESTAURANT in Helmsley 

Located in the centre of a historic market town with a colossal amount of visitor footfall throughout the year.  Just a few steps from medieval castle ruins and a bustling market square filled with unique shops, cozy pubs and award winning restaurants, of which this is one.  Highly prominent premises with a profile to both the busy main street and entrance off the market square.  Currently laid out to spaciously seat 42 diners, but capable of accommodating more.  Neutrally decorated to suit any manner of theme or cuisine, the premises is suitable for any food led or wet led style of operation.  The business is renowned for its Michelin recommended high quality food offering, locally sourced and served with a certain flair, but would be equally popular with a simpler menu offering, given the amount of tourist visitor footfall that this historic market town enjoys.  

Open plan dining room enjoying lots of natural light from very large windows to two sides.  Bar servery and wait station with pass through from the well-equipped commercial kitchen, including a hooded extraction system and double decked pizza oven.  Open-rod staircase leading to ladies and gents WC’s and a large dry goods storeroom.  To the rear of the kitchen is a pot-wash area and utility area with rear exit door.

SOLD - Mario's Diner, Marsden, Huddersfield

VIBRANT VILLAGE DINER / CAFE BAR in Huddersfield.

Marsden, in the picturesque Colne Valley has recently become a very welcoming, bohemian style village filled with interesting and unique independent shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants.  An influx of new tourists and visitors to the area has boosted the local economy and created a vibrant and bustling street food and bar scene.  Our client acquired the business just a year ago, but admits that they are not suited to the industry and now wish to exit in order to take up a different career path.  Located in the centre of the busiest street in the village, the diner is well placed with lots of daily footfall.  Currently operating as a traditional diner and run on short opening hours, the business would benefit from obtaining a licence to serve alcohol to its customers, opening up a huge opportunity to attract additional revenue.  In our opinion, a wet-led operation such as a craft ale or gin / prosecco bar would prove hugely successful here, as the surprisingly large premises, over three floors, could easily manage more customer capacity.  There is also an Ice Cream Parlour with 2 Ice Cream freezers for Artisan Ice Cream. 

Air conditioned dining room currently spaciously laid out to accommodate 36 diners.  Display deli-counter servery, bar counter top and long back bar.  Kitchen, comprehensively equipped with commercial quality catering equipment.  Disabled persons compliant customer WC.  Storage room.  First Floor, elegant dining room easily accommodating 20 customers.  Dry and chilled goods storage room.  Second floor open plan space, currently showcasing a local artists paintings, but useful for many other uses.  The premises are superbly appointed in all areas and need no additional capital investment.  Priced to sell quickly, this is a huge opportunity to acquire a sizeable venue in a picturesque riverside village which is rapidly becoming the next visitor hotspot.  Overheads are low with very reasonable rent for the size of the premises and benefitting from full Small Business Rates Relief for our client.

SOLD - Park House Guest House, Ingleby Arncliffe, Northallerton.

BED AND BREAKFAST in North Yorkshire

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a thriving, bed and breakfast business run from leasehold premises which makes this opportunity very affordable and one which is situated in one of the most idyllic locations in the country. This award winning guest house has an enviable reputation and a five star rating on Tripadvisor with over 85% of reviewers rating it as “Excellent”.  The premises are situated in an elevated position within the North York Moors National Park, surrounded by woodland and offering spectacular views over rolling countryside. A location which would be very hard to beat and which provides fabulous place in which to live and earn a living - SUPERB, UNINTERRUPTED VIEWS OF THE VALE OF MOWBRAY.

The business is located along the routes of both the ‘Coast to Coast’ walk and the Cleveland Way and therefore caters predominantly to walkers but also to customers seeking short breaks to get away from it all and explore the surrounding villages and countryside - the Coast to Coast will be made into a national trail in 2025 which will bring further footfall into this area. Our client has ceased providing evening meals to guests which previously brought in a very useful additional income and this would be an opportunity for a new owner to reintroduce them to enhance turnover and profitability, particularly in view of having the licensed bar.  Occupancy during the season is exceptionally high and even in the off season, the guest house maintains very good levels of trade.  It is very difficult to imagine that if Christmas and New Year stays were marketed correctly that this guest house would be anything other than fully booked throughout this potentially very profitable season.  The majority of business comes from walkers websites and repeat bookings which means there is a benefit in that commissions are not being paid on every booking to the travel portals.  Our client also deals directly with ten different companies who book directly with them and no commission is paid on those bookings either.  

Detached, former farmhouse set in its own mature grounds offering entrance leading to reception / bar area with resident dining room off having feature, open fireplace and comfortably seating 14 diners in a single sitting. Spacious residents lounge with revealed stone walls, beamed ceiling and log burner. Fully fitted kitchen with island work area and storage cupboards. Open study area with boot room off and laundry. Six letting bedrooms made up of two twin rooms, two double rooms, two family rooms, all of which offer en-suite shower and WC.  The private family accommodation provides, combined, part tiled bathroom and two double bedrooms within the main building. A further double bedroom is provided within one of the outbuildings.  Externally, large, mature gardens with two patio areas which may also used for Al-fresco dining during the summer months and external, wood burning, pizza oven above wood store. Park House also offers several outbuildings which provide, wood store, secure cycle storage, workshop, wash bay facilities and an extremely large garage with potential for other uses, parties etc, subject to any necessary consents. 

The property is particularly well maintained and beautifully presented throughout.  VIEWING HERE REALLY IS A MUST AND COMES HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Business on lease. Ref: 590201

Wednesday, 23 October 2024

SOLD - Long Lane Post Office & Convenience Store, Heald Green, Cheadle

POST OFFICE AND CONVENIENCE STORE in Greater Manchester.

This is a very busy Post Office. The retail convenience goods side of the business has a fabulous weekly turnover yet could be hugely improved upon, or the substantial space could be put to better use. In the interests of providing total transparency, there is another long-established small convenience shop in the neighbouring parade of shops, as well as a new Co-Op convenience store currently in build within a short distance of the Post Office - neither however will have a Post Office counter provision. In our opinion, a different business model, away from convenience goods, would work very well here. A travel bureau perhaps, a retail counter of some description, or a deli-counter would service a demand that is so far untapped in the local area. The Post Office business however remains very buoyant and extremely lucrative. The Post Office counter arrangement can be relocated to the existing, but unused fortress counter at the back of the shop, leaving a substantial retail area. The asking price is very realistic and more than reasonable, reflecting the convenience goods competition that exists nearby. An asking price well below one years’ worth of annual Post Office commission paid is undoubtedly an opportunity rarely offered and not to be dismissed. At the corner of a busy parade of shops, with good on and off-street parking. Ground floor lock-up premises with cash machine and security roller shutters. Large retail area with sales and Post Office counter near the entry, plus a fortress Post Office counter at the rear of the sales floor, currently only used as an office. Rear of the shop areas include staff kitchenette and WC. Large stores area with double delivery doors leading to a walled and security gated yard. Business on lease. Ref: 588895
