A modern mixed-use development that combines retail and office space with residential apartments, in a prime Harrogate town centre location is being sold for the first time ever.

 

Located on Albert Street, which runs between West Park and Station Parade, the property is currently home to estate agent Dacre, Son & Hartley and its specialist commercial property and rural divisions, known as Dacres Commercial and Lister Haigh, which are all expanding into new premises.

 

The building, which is being marketed jointly by Dacres Commercial and Montpellier Property Consultants, offers nearly 1,200 sq ft of retail or open plan office space on the ground floor with a further 400 sq ft of staff or ancillary accommodation on the lower ground floor. The self-contained first floor office or studio area provides a further 1,161 sq ft.

 

In addition, there are two spacious one bedroom penthouse apartments on the second floor with stylish open plan living areas.

 

Dacres has grown significantly in North Yorkshire in recent years and acquired longstanding rural property consultancy, Lister Haigh, early last year. In additional to residential property sales and lettings, Dacres’ Harrogate team offers agricultural and rural consultancy, specialist planning and development advice, as well as a full range of commercial property services.

 

As a result of this growth, the team will be expanding into new office space in Harrogate, which will be unveiled in the coming months, and this will be complemented by its other residential sales and lettings offices in the local area including Knaresborough, Wetherby, Pateley Bridge, Ripon and North Leeds.

 

Chartered surveyor, Hedley Steel, from Dacres Commercial, said: “This property will appeal to a wide range of growing businesses, including professional services firms and retailers, that aspire to own a building in the heart of Harrogate town centre.

 

“Crucially, it offers a prominent shop front on a busy street as well as benefitting from additional high quality office space, with the added benefit of strong residential rental income, so we’re anticipating good levels of interest.”

 

Peter Rawnsley, from Montpellier Property Consultants, added: “Modern mixed-use property for sale freehold in prime Harrogate town centre locations are few and far between, so 17 Albert Street provides a unique proposition to an investor or owner occupier.

 

“The property provides a unique opportunity to acquire a substantial mixed use property within a central location close to all the local amenities of Harrogate.”

 

Founded more than 200 years ago, Dacre, Son & Hartley is Yorkshire’s largest independent estate agent, with 17 offices across North and West Yorkshire and it also owns the Lister Haigh estate agency brand.
