VACANT RETAIL / COMMERCIAL PREMISES in Skelmanthorpe, Huddersfield for Sale.

An excellent opportunity to lease versatile commercial premises in a prominent position in Skelmanthorpe village. Situated on Station Road, a principal route, the property offers excellent visibility, access and links to Huddersfield, Wakefield and Junction 39 of the M1 motorway. It is suited to retail, trade counter, showroom, storage and distribution uses. The village is a thriving community serving a substantial residential catchment and surrounding rural villages.

For convenience retailers, the premises offer strong potential. Subject to the necessary consents and grant of a premises licence for off-sales of alcohol, there is space for a comprehensive store with chilled, frozen, grocery and household ranges. The open sales area enables flexible merchandising and efficient customer circulation. Alternatively, the property would make an excellent showroom for flooring, kitchens, bathrooms, furniture, home improvements or other display-led products. Its prominent frontage, accessible location and substantial trading area provide an ideal setting to showcase products while retaining stock space. The premises would also suit warehousing, trade counter operations, light workshop use, fulfilment and despatch, online retail distribution or a gymnasium, subject to planning consent where applicable.

Skelmanthorpe is well positioned for regional distribution, with strong road links across Yorkshire and access to the motorway network. Parking is available nearby. The premises are offered on a new fully repairing and insuring lease, with three-yearly rent reviews, at a sensible commencing rent. Other lease terms are negotiable. Early inspection is strongly recommended.

The accommodation extends to approximately 1,700 sq ft at ground-floor level, comprising substantial open-plan space most recently occupied as a village convenience store and previously used for distribution. There is also a first-floor office suite of approximately 800 sq ft. The flexible layout can be adapted to occupiers’ requirements. The property benefits from a concrete floor, natural light, kitchen and WC facilities, a large roller-shutter access door and glazed frontage, making it suitable for customer-facing and trade-based businesses.
