The property is a mid-terrace building, being to four storeys plus basement.

Harry’s Bar is a well established popular catering and bar operation in a prime Whitby location. There are ground floor and first floor trading areas with high profile outdoor seating area to front of the premises.
It has excellent profitability with consistently high levels of sales and is operated largely under management. As well as the bar there are also excellent letting bedrooms decorated and presented to a high standard.

There is a large parcel of land to the rear of the property, which is on the opposite side of the rear lane. This is currently used partly for storage purposes in conjunction with the operation of Harry’s Bar. However, it is also considered suitable for the construction of a range of further holiday letting units, if required. This land therefore may be acquired separately, by way of negotiation.

At the front of the property currently extends by approximately 3 metres plus onto the footpath. There is a planning application to construct a balcony at first floor level.

Would consider sale of the business and fixtures and fittings, granting a new lease
