New tenant for expanding retail and leisure farm conversion
Leeds-based Chartered Surveyors Carter Towler have been appointed to market and manage The Courtyard, a growing rural retail destination on the A65, near Settle.
The 4,669 sq ft complex sits within a 1 acre site and consists of seven retail and leisure units. The former farm buildings are currently occupied by bespoke furniture company Dalesbred; fabric and accessories manufacturer Abraham Moon; beauty salon Bellezza Dentra and The Brasserie Restaurant.
Carter Towler have taken responsibility for managing the properties and the needs of the current tenants as well as identifying additional occupiers for the two vacant units.
James Skirrow, Property Management Surveyor at Carter Towler, said: “The Courtyard is a thriving retail and leisure development – we are thrilled to have been appointed to look after it by its owners the Murphy Family Trust & J B Whittaker SIPP.
“The old barns have been totally transformed and are now thriving with activity again. As well as the artisan crafts on offer, it has a very good restaurant and there will soon be a dog groomers. Rigby & Rover will be our newest tenant and we are sure they will do very well here.
“Being just 10 minutes north of Skipton and adjacent to the busy A65, The Courtyard is a very accessible destination. There is a great deal of flexibility too in terms of the size of properties available, both are perfect for a variety of commercial uses.
“It really does have a lot to offer people who are looking for a relaxed afternoon out in the Dales. There are seasonal events too including helicopter pleasure flights and there’s even an electric vehicle charging point so visitors can have a bite to eat and browse in the shops while their cars are being topped up.”
