Old School Gallery and Craft Centre has been a successful business for over forty years. The current sellers bought the property 7 years ago and have expanded the business and improved the property since.

The property is currently run by a husband and wife team who operate the business with seasonal part time staff. The business opens 7 days a week throughout peak season (April- October) and open 3-4 days per week during the winter months. The current sellers close in the new year and re-open for the Spring.

The ground floor commercial space has been sympathetically modernised to create a bright, welcoming shop space whilst retaining the original character one would expect from an old school. There is an entrance vestibule leading to both the craft shop and retail space, both spacious and bright rooms with excellent lighting. At the rear is an coffee shop with direct access to the walled garden. there is a well-equipped catering kitchen and storage space.

Upstairs is accessed via an external staircase from the rear garden. This space is currently used as an additional gallery but has in the past been used as owners accommodation. There is an open plan living space with vaulted ceiling. This space is modern having a well fitted kitchen and newly installed multi fuel stove. There is also a shower room, and two double bedrooms. This space is flexible, lending itself to additional gallery space, owners accommodation or could be an independent holiday let.

Outside, to the rear is a beautifully maintained walled garden. The garden is well stocked with lovely views of fells at the rear. Within the garden are two stone sheds, one under the stairs which is used as a utility room and a detached stone built garden store.

The property fronts on to the street, there is ample space for advertising boards and pot plants.

Old School Gallery and Craft Centre is a great opportunity to purchase an existing, profitable business with scope for expansion with owner accommodation. A perfect Dales lifestyle business.
