Summary - THE GOLDEN LION MAIN STREET HELPERBY YORK YO61 2NT
1 bed 1 bath Pub
Freehold closed pub with 3-bed accommodation and external trading area in affluent Helperby.
Freehold Georgian village pub on Main Street, Helperby
A rare freehold village pub in Helperby, offered closed but ready for re-opening or conversion. The Georgian two‑storey brick building sits on Main Street in an affluent, low‑crime rural community and includes a single‑bar trading area with fixed perimeter seating for about 45 covers and an external cobbled trading space with picnic benches. The property includes three first‑floor bedrooms, lounge, kitchen and bathroom — useful owner accommodation or short‑let potential.
The interior retains strong period character: exposed beams, stone flooring, twin fireplaces (including a cast‑iron multi‑fuel burner) and a central bar servery. Practical features include a small commercial catering kitchen and ladies’ and gents’ toilets. The rear yard provides service access but note there is a vehicle right‑of‑way to the neighbouring property which limits privacy and some rear use.
This property will suit an operator or investor seeking a village community pub with immediate trading potential, or a buyer looking to renovate and add value. The building requires modernization of finishes and equipment to meet current commercial standards; any purchaser should allow budget for refurbishment and inspection of services. Broadband is fast, mobile signal average, and local amenities and good primary/independent schools are close by, supporting day‑time trade.
Important practical points: offered freehold at £295,000; currently closed (not trading); small catering kitchen may restrict high‑volume operation without upgrade; rear yard right‑of‑way affects rear access. Buyers should factor in refurbishment costs, licensing and any necessary commercial compliance works before re-opening.
