The property is a former café in this predominantly single storey stone built building which has been extended and refurbished over time. The café was considered to be a recognised valuable community focal point missed by many residents and passing customers. The café comprises two connected open areas plus larder space and kitchen on the ground floor. The upper floors provide storage and toilet facilities. Café equipment is in situ and is available by negotiation.
Location
13–15 Folly Hall Road is situated on the eastern side of Folly Hall Road, close to the roundabout junction with Fair Road (B6380) and High Street (B6380). There are a number of local and national occupiers in the vicinity including Co-op, Mother Hubbard's and William H Brown.
The property is located a short distance from Odsal Top, giving access via the M606 to the wider motorway network. Wibsey is a popular, long-established Bradford suburb with community village heritage, practical local amenities and relatively good access to both Bradford and Leeds. The village centre remains a focal point for local life.

There is a good size gated yard area with vehicular access to the rear, which currently has a storage shed. This area has tremendous potential to extend the café use with enhanced outdoor space. It should be possible to reinstate an old doorway at the rear of the property to give access and create an outdoor café space. There is on-street parking to the front and room for tables outside.
