Description

Development Opportunity. Potential for 2 x 3 bed semi-detached.

Located in the charming village of Gargrave, The Barn on North Street presents a unique opportunity for those seeking a versatile commercial property with potential for residential conversion.

This property is currently classed for commercial use.

Change-of-use pre-application correspondence with the local planning department has indicated a willingness to support a change of use to create two residential dwellings, subject to certain heritage and amenity controls. This presents an exciting opportunity for investors or developers looking to capitalise on the growing demand for residential properties in the area.

Originally built in 1860 and thoughtfully redesigned in 1966 by the esteemed local entrepreneur Dorothy Ward, this property has served as a successful showroom for house furnishings and fabrics.

The current owners have continued this legacy, operating two thriving businesses for the past decade, but are now looking to semi-retire, offering this remarkable space for sale.

The ground floor is currently home to a spacious reception hall, and a hair salon and beauty treatment rooms, complemented by staff facilities and a kitchen. High quality throughout and offering versatile spaces.

Ascend to the first floor, where you will find over 1000 square feet of open-plan office and production space, ideal for a variety of business uses.

The property is equipped with modern electric convector heaters and Mitsubishi air conditioning, ensuring a comfortable environment year-round.

Outside, the property features a charming cobbled front area for parking and a delightful stone-flagged garden at the rear, perfect for relaxation or outdoor gatherings. With its rich history, prime location, and potential for transformation, The Barn is a property not to be missed.
