Summary
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.
