This prime freehold on a busy Driffield shopping street combines a long-established beauty and tanning salon with a separately rented cafe, offering immediate income and mixed-use potential. The salon trades six days a week with reported weekly turnover of £1,600 and has been in the same ownership since 2008; staff have operated it for the past ten years. The adjoining cafe is a self-contained unit producing circa £8,700 pa and sits on a minimum 12-month licence agreement (from November 2025).
The property spans three floors and retains period construction (c.1900–1929) with solid brick walls and double glazing. Layout includes ground-floor reception and nail stations, first-floor treatment and tanning rooms, and a second-floor hair and support area. Three electricity boards and two electric contracts reflect its former use as two shops and a flat, and there is a secure interconnecting door between units.
There is scope for improvement and repurposing: planning permission was previously granted to convert the cafe into a residential flat, giving development upside. The building will suit an owner-operator wanting established trading space, or an investor seeking rental income plus conversion potential. EPC Band B, mains gas heating and no flooding risk are practical positives.
Buyers should note material negatives clearly: the property sits in a deprived area with high local crime rates, the fabric is older solid-brick construction likely without cavity insulation, and parts will need ongoing maintenance or refurbishment to modernise. These factors affect running costs, insurance and tenant demand and should be factored into purchase plans.
