Norfolk House sits in a prime location on the Market Place of this bustling market town. Leyburn is the eastern gateway to the Yorkshire Dales and a destination town with a range of pubs, shops, and the Wensleydale Railway.

Norfolk House has previously been a department store, gift shop with first floor cafe, and is currently a bed showroom.

The building is large, with scope to subdivide and create some separate residential flats/cottage to the rear, while still retaining an excellent shop and cafe.

The current owners are creating a top floor residential flat, which could be owners' accommodation. There is further space in the attic which could also be developed.

Previous tenants were paying a rent of £36,000 pa. The owner's preference is to sell the freehold but may consider a rental or rent to buy option.

The property traded for many years as Serendipity with a turnover around £750,000, included in this was a cafe turnover of around £3500/week.

A change of direction by current owners has meant that the premises are not being utilised to their full potential, hence offered for sale.

Anti-money laundering (AML) checks

Should a purchaser(s) have an offer accepted on a property marketed by J.R. Hopper & Co., they will need to undertake an AML check. We require this to meet our obligation under AML regulations and it is a legal requirement. We use a specialist third party service, provided by Lifetime Legal, to verify your identity. The cost of these checks is £60 (including VAT) per purchase, payable in advance directly to Lifetime Legal, when an offer is agreed and prior to a sales memorandum being issued. This charge is non-refundable under any circumstances.
