Front Street, Alston CA9

This unique mixed-use property in Alston, positioned prominently on Front Street, presents a compelling opportunity for renovation and investment. Ryder House features a diverse layout, comprising three en-suite guest rooms and an expansive commercial space that has historically operated as a café/shop. The owner's accommodation complements the commercial areas, making it suitable for those looking to manage a lifestyle business alongside residential living. The property boasts additional features such as a large cellar for storage and a well-equipped commercial kitchen. Notably, there's potential to enhance the significant detached two-storey stone outbuilding, currently used for storage, into either an annex or holiday let—subject to planning consent. The charming courtyard and rear garden further add value, allowing for outdoor enhancement which could attract more visitors. With its location in the Front Street Conservation Area and appeal to tourists traversing the nearby Pennine Way and Coast-to-Coast routes, there is considerable scope for future growth and increased income generation.
