A building located in the heart of Settle town centre that was previously home to a longstanding Craven business is for sale and offers a vast amount of potential for alternative uses, subject to securing necessary planning consents.
The building, known locally as The Garden Shed, is located on Kirkgate and is being marketed by us.
Extending to around 103 sq mt, or 1,118 sq ft, the property’s ground floor offers a generous open space, office and WC, with a second large open space on the first floor as well as a further office or storage room. Outside there is further storage space or off-street parking area.
The building was previously part of Dugdales, which had been in Settle since 1906 supplying farming and electrical products, as well as installing bulk milk tanks and milk parlours on farms. The business used it as a hardware, garden products and pet supplies shop.
Part of Dugdales closed approximately 12 years ago when the owners retired, but The Garden Shed was leased to a new owner who retired last year.
Tom Galloway, who heads up our Settle office, said: “This is an exciting opportunity to acquire an historic building in the heart of this popular Ribble Valley community and there is clear scope for a variety of alternative uses subject to the granting of necessary consents.
“It’s full of character with internal exposed stone and wooden beams, and the main rooms on the ground and first floor are both very spacious, at more than eight metres long and five metres wide.
“The property is already attracting a lot of interest, not least because it’s in a great location, right in the centre of Settle, with the town’s shops, cafes, restaurants, pubs, market square and railway station very close by, which all adds to its appeal.”
Settle is ideally located for commuting to North and West Yorkshire, and the East Lancashire business centres, as well as the northern motorway network. The town has a bustling market square, a railway station on the famous Settle to Carlisle line, schools, a swimming pool, library, golf club, health centre and a wide range of recreational facilities.
The building is for sale for offers in excess of £130,000 with best and final offers invited by 1pm on Thursday 21st March 2024. For more details and to arrange a viewing contact our Settle office on 01729 823921.
