This chain‑free freehold combines a long‑established, profitable fine‑dining restaurant with a fully furnished two‑bedroom maisonette above — ideal for an owner‑operator or as an investment with separate entrances and utilities. The restaurant is licensed for 38 covers, benefits from a strong reputation for locally sourced food and currently turns over around £150,000 a year while trading three evenings weekly. It sits on a traditional stone frontage in Pickering’s busy market place, with excellent footfall from tourists and local amenities.
The maisonette is bright and spacious over two storeys: a large sitting room with market‑place views, newly built kitchen/dining area that opens onto a private roof terrace with a church view, luxury bathroom and two double bedrooms (one with walk‑in dressing room). The property has an EPC rating of C (valid to 2034) and is not listed.
Practical points to note: the restaurant currently trades only Thursday to Saturday evenings, which limits immediate trading days but also indicates scope to increase turnover. The business is sold with full fixtures, fittings and seating in place, enabling an incoming operator to trade from day one. Rateable value is £5,900 and the maisonette is in council tax band A.
The town location, very affluent catchment and excellent mobile signal are strong positives. Broadband is average and the plot is small, so there’s little external space beyond the roof terrace. Accounts are available to genuinely interested parties after viewing.
