Description

Comprising an attractive Grade II Listed mixed-use opportunity over basement, ground, first and second floors with 0.3 acres of additional
land to the rear. The building is understood to have been constructed in 1985 as a Joshua Tetley Heritage Inn and is of solid red brick construction with a pitched slate roof and includes a single-storey extension to the rear with a flat felt roof.

The building is entirely self-contained with excellent visibility onto Kirkstall Road. The ground floor is laid out with a series of rooms, including the original bar / server area and a large feature staircase leading to the upper floors. A secondary staircase has been constructed in recent years.

The first and second floors are again divided into a series of rooms with original fireplaces and excellent floor to ceiling height throughout. The building benefits from several period features including a dumbwaiter (which extends up through to the 2nd floor), the original curved corner public bar, detailed window architraves and skirting. Some features are protected under the Listed Building consent. Further information on request.
