Description
The unit offers approximately 1,000 sq ft of space. Outdoor seating to the front and side return provides a strong opportunity for F&B operators and acts as a key USP.
Positioned directly beside the recently restored First White Cloth Hall on Kirkgate, the property sits between Leeds Kirkgate Market and the landmark Corn Exchange. This stretch is home to some of the city’s most architecturally and historically significant buildings, forming part of the conservation area at the heart of the city centre.
The property has been sympathetically refurbished, including a new shopfront. Well-suited for food and beverage use, the space offers outdoor seating potential extending along the side passage to the rear, creating an appealing paved patio accessible via bi-fold doors and linking into the proposed new-build residential scheme.
The upper floors will be separately accessed and occupied by a boutique fitness studio.
The unit will be delivered in shell and core condition with capped-off services. Planning consent will be required for any extraction system.
Location
The property benefits from a highly visible frontage onto Kirkgate. Kirkgate, located just east of Leeds city centre, is recognised as the city’s oldest shopping street.
The area is lively both day and evening, with many buildings and retail units already tastefully restored and re-occupied by quality independent businesses, helping to revitalise the street.
Surrounding occupiers include a strong mix of independent brands such as Wapentake café bar, Blue Collar Barbering, Doghouse Bagel Shop and Bar, Koncept Studio, Leson, Lamb & Flag, Fred Aldous, Crowd of Favours, as well as the beautifully refurbished Grade II listed First White Cloth Hall* and Jam Rock.
