Set on Scarborough’s South Cliff, this compact freehold ground-floor shop offers straightforward town-centre retail or light-workshop use. The unit extends to about 518 sq ft, with a sizeable display window, rear workshop, kitchenette and WC — a usable layout for an independent retailer, studio or small service business.
Practical benefits include A1 planning use, a low rateable value (RV £3,500) which should qualify for small business rates relief, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — helpful for modern retail or click-and-collect operations. The large frontage and passing footfall on a mixed high-street make the unit easy to let or operate from immediately.
Buyers should factor in material upgrade needs: the EPC is poor (EPC 112, rated G), heating is by electric storage heaters, and the building is a timber-framed period terrace likely lacking insulation. The property will need modernisation to improve energy performance and tenant appeal. There is no private parking or external amenity shown.
The unit suits investors seeking a low-footprint high-street asset or an owner-operator wanting a base with conversion potential. Clarify tenure, the in-house maintenance arrangement and any restrictions with legal advisers before purchase.
