*COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTAL* Located at the junction of Topcliffe Road, Station Road and Westgate, this mixed-use building offers clear visibility and reliable footfall. Sold as a single investment, it includes four self-contained units: two commercial spaces, a first-floor two-bedroom apartment and a ground-floor bedsit. All are either let or have recently been let, making it a straightforward option for buyers looking for steady income in a well-positioned part of Thirsk.

The Properties - This mixed-use investment occupies a prominent position where Topcliffe Road, Station Road and Westgate meet—an area known for reliable footfall, constant passing traffic and strong long-term demand for both commercial and residential lets. The property is being sold as one complete unit, comprising a large main shop, an adjoining smaller commercial space, a well-proportioned two-bedroom apartment above, and a self-contained ground-floor bedsit.

Main Commercial Property - 1 Sowerby Road

Currently let to a salon on a fixed-term lease, the main unit offers a generous floor area and excellent street presence, with large display windows across two elevations. The internal layout includes a spacious customer-facing area, reception/waiting zone and useful storage space. The combination of frontage, visibility and flexible internal layout makes it suitable for a wide range of future uses (subject to any required consents).

Adjoining Commercial Unit - 3 Sowerby Road

Also let to the same tenant, the adjoining building provides further trading space, a WC and additional storage. While smaller, it works effectively as an extension of the main premises and benefits from shared visibility and access.

Summary - Overall, Luke Miller & Associates consider this a solid and dependable investment. The corner position on Sowerby Road gives the site strong visibility, and the mix of commercial and residential units provides balanced income rather than relying on a single stream. The current tenants, including a long-standing commercial occupier, add stability, while the layouts across each property continue to align well with local rental demand. In the longer term, there is also scope to review rental levels or explore alternative uses, subject to planning, giving an investor both immediate security and future flexibility.
