Summary - North Street, Ripon, HG4 1JY HG4 1JY
1 bed 1 bath Office
Substantial four‑storey Victorian building with income and conversion potential.
Corner Victorian freehold with prominent market-place frontage
A substantial Victorian freehold occupying a prominent corner on North Street, a few steps from Ripon’s market place. The building extends over four floors (including large basement) with generous rooms, bay windows and strong natural light — well suited to continued commercial use or mixed-use conversion. The ground floor trading area is in active use under a long lease (terms to be agreed), providing immediate income, while the top two floors are sold with vacant possession and offer clear conversion potential (STPP).
This is an investor-focused opportunity: long-term control of a central Ripon asset with excellent footfall and a wide range of nearby amenities. Mains electricity, water and drainage are connected; heating is electric. The vendor has provided two illustrative residential conversion schemes for the upper floors, but any change of use will require planning and building control consents from North Yorkshire Council.
Buyers should factor in material considerations: the site is on a very small plot in a transitional neighbourhood with constrained rental demographics and above-average local crime statistics. The property may need refurbishment and modernisation (including potential heating upgrades) and there are business rates, service costs and VAT considerations. Interested parties must satisfy themselves on lease terms, planning prospects and any remediation or fit-out costs before purchase.
