Summary - 4, SIR JOHNS SQUARE KW14 7AN
1 bed 1 bath Retail Property (high street)
Prominent freehold high-street shop with strong passing trade on the NC500.
Large retail unit approx. 262m² across two floors and attic
A substantial period retail unit on Thurso’s busy high street, offered freehold with goodwill and trade contents (stock excluded). The property extends to around 262m² across ground floor sales, rear storage and a first-floor attic office/storage — a large footprint for a town-centre shop with strong roadside exposure on the North Coast 500 route.
The shop is well fitted with shelving, display units, storage cabinets, male and female WCs, gas heating and CCTV. Existing trading (Cards N Things) has returned close to pre-COVID turnover levels and benefits from year-round passing trade, local community support and excellent mobile signal. The rear courtyard and previously operated café offer immediate scope to add higher-margin food/drink income or seasonal seating.
Opportunities include expanding product ranges, reintroducing the café, increasing tourist-focused offers for NC500 visitors and utilising the first-floor attic for additional storage or office use. The property is being sold to enable retirement; full trading figures are available to genuinely interested parties after viewing.
Important considerations: the surrounding area is classified as very deprived, which may limit local disposable income despite steady tourist trade. Broadband speeds are average. Stock is not included and will be sold separately by valuation. Offers are invited over £225,000 for the heritable property with goodwill and trade contents (per inventory).
