A multi-faceted mixed use property, comprising a highly successful café come coffee shop and substantial two bedroom residential property. The sale of The Old School offers a fantastic opportunity to undertake an interesting commercial opportunity which given its prime location being right on the Coast-to-Coast National Trail; a renowned 190–walking route crossing across Northern England, and located within the perennially popular steam and moorland village of Grosmont offers ample avenues to explore new and enhanced income streams.

The Old School was comprehensively converted around 15 years ago and in all provides 3,045 square feet. The main former school room alone provides 640 square feet and is an ideal cafe and entertaining space with adjoining commercial kitchen and facilities. At present the café has around 80 covers and operates 4 days a week from April to October. This capability could easily be increased, taking advantage of the currently fairly limited opportunities for dining in Grosmont by exploring evening services, supper clubs or all day catering for the flow of walkers flowing along the Coast to Coast literally at the front of The Old School.

In tandem with the commercial faculties is a fantastic residential property. Completely private from the commercial element, the accommodation has, like the Cafe, been improved over recent years and provides stylish and characterful accommodation. The space is dominated by an impressive main living and reception space with vaulted ceilings, and three-quarter height floor to ceiling windows to two sides, flooding the space with light. In all: entrance hall, utility room, main reception space with refitted kitchen, living and dining areas. Ground floor bedroom and separate bathroom with shower. Upstairs on a mezzanine level lies a further double bedroom and bathroom, all presented to a high standard throughout. In all 2,178 square feet.

Outside is well set up for both the cafe and residential sides of the property, each element having private hard landscaped grounds. Ample space for outdoor dining and for the residential side, sheltered courtyard gardens, with pretty and well stocked raised beds and private sitting and dining areas. Parking is available within the village and is currently unrestricted.

Grosmont is a pretty and popular Moorland village famous for the steam railway which runs between Pickering and Grosmont. An important tourist destination, the opportunities for outdoor recreation in and around Grosmont and the North York Moors are endless. The sea-side town of Whitby lies only seven miles to the north and offers a wide array of amenities.
