SOLD - Development opportunity, Keighley

FORMER RESTAURANT, RESIDENCE AND CAR PARK SET IN A 0.439 ACRE SITE in Keighley 

Highly recognised and prominent site just off the A650 Airedale Trunk Road between Bingley and Keighley at the Marley roundabout.  A former Italian restaurant that has been in the same family ownership for over three decades.

The site would be of particular interest to developers for a potential residential scheme (subject to planning), national corporate restaurant or coffee chains, or independent restaurant or bar operators.  Its highly visible location, on one of the busiest A roads in West Yorkshire, will undoubtedly attract a great deal of interest and therefore we strongly suggest that interested parties make an appointment to view the property without delay.   

The Property:  The site, of approximately half an acre, includes its own vast car park, a substantial stone built restaurant over ground floor, and substantial living accommodation on the first floor, including a family sized and fully self-contained apartment with huge, split level, reception room, dining area, kitchen, bathroom and three bedrooms plus a study.  A wrap-around outside balcony and conservatory gives the apartment huge space and appeal.  

The restaurant has several trading areas over a number of split levels and a commercial catering kitchen.  The restaurant is fully-fitted and equipped, including a wide deck, gas pizza oven and a range of commercial cooking equipment under a vast stainless hood and extraction system.  Separate food prep and pot-wash areas.  A pass-through from kitchen to the restaurants wait station.  There is a main dining room of approximately 135 square metres plus ladies and gents toilets, and a private function room of almost 50 square metres, plus ladies and gents toilets.  There is a service bar and a small private dining room for special occasions on a raised floor level.  The restaurant has a covered, glass fronted portico which wraps around two sides of the restaurant and provides additional seating.  Several rooms on first and second floors above the restaurant kitchens could provide additional live-in accommodation, but are currently utilised for storage, staff toilet and management office.      

The Offer:  Our client will consider all offers, both for the Freehold interest in the entire property with vacant possession, or Leasehold interest in the restaurant, secured with a new lease, and to include the existing fixtures, fittings and equipment on the premises.
