Summary - 7-9, DUNROBIN STREET, HELMSDALE KW8 6JA
1 bed 1 bath Restaurant
Profitable NC500 restaurant with owner accommodation and strong repeat trade.
Freehold mixed-use Victorian corner property with prominent frontage
La Mirage is a turnkey, freehold restaurant and takeaway with a prominent corner shopfront on Helmsdale’s main street, positioned on the popular NC500 tourist route. The business is offered with fixtures, fittings, equipment and goodwill and currently trades as a 40-cover dine-in restaurant alongside a busy takeaway operation, supported by strong local repeat custom and tourist footfall.
The building is a Victorian end-terrace mixed-use property over two main storeys with attic dormers. Upper floors provide owner accommodation (advertised as a four-bedroom flat), creating genuine owner-operator potential or separate rental income. The location benefits from excellent mobile signal, fast broadband and immediate access to town centre amenities, harbour and coastal routes.
Notable constraints are the town-centre plot size and limited external space: no private garden, on-street parking only and a small forecourt. The area is classified as very deprived, and trade may be seasonal given reliance on NC500 tourists. Interior dining areas appear functional and mid-20th-century utilitarian rather than high-end, so modest refurbishment could increase appeal.
This freehold opportunity suits an experienced catering operator or investor seeking an established, profitable turnover with immediate cashflow and scope to add value via cosmetic upgrades, extended marketing, or seasonal offer development. All material fixtures and the trading goodwill are included in the sale; prospective buyers should carry out standard commercial due diligence and inspect trading accounts.
