Wick Retail for Sale - Caithness/Sutherland/Ross/Crom

Thriving café overlooking Wick Harbour, with added B&B rooms and private owner’s apartment. Prime location on the iconic North Coast 500 - a perfect lifestyle and business opportunity in Scotland’s stunning north. The population of Wick is approximately 7,500 but with a much broader catchment area. Tourism is one of the main sources of income to the county in the main season with the locale being highly popular with walkers, cyclists, ornithologists and anglers and is a popular stop on the North Coast 500 route which passes through the town. The Wick Heritage Centre also provides a steady stream of clientele as this museum is a popular attraction, which attracts a high level of visitors and thus the location to Wickers World is ideal. The harbour itself draws many tourists who enjoy the location or take a trip on the inflatable rib offering coastal tours. The area offers a host of interesting archaeological sites and tourist attractions which include The Castle of Mey, residence of the late Queen Mother. Day trips to the Orkney Islands are another option for tourists. Caithness is also highly popular with people retracing their roots as the surrounding area has a long association with the Highland clearances. The Old Pulteney distillery, the most northerly mainland distillery, is a popular attraction and the harbour itself was substantially renovated a few years ago bringing both commercial and domestic trade into the area. The Pentland Firth area is a centre for renewable energy which attracts commercial trade to the general area. Projects such as the Beatrice Offshore Wind Farm site was set up to install and maintain up to 110 large offshore wind turbines. One of the main towns on the North Coast 500 route, Wick is a great location to visit the many other local attractions along the A9 corridor and situated within the towns of Thurso, John O’Groats, Helmsdale, Golspie and Brora. In terms of infrastructure Wick is very well supported and benefits from Primary and Secondary education, good leisure facilities and communication links with a railway station and airport. Wick also has excellent medical facilities available locally. The Property Wickers World is an exceptionally well-presented business with attractive and spacious owner’s accommodation. The business operation is laid out over three floors from street level, with a basement storage area. The property splits into 4 different use areas, all with direct access from the pavement; the café, the B&B, the owners accommodation and a storage area, which could be used as a separate complimentary retail space with its associated basement storage. The owners accommodation is set over two floors. The building is of traditional stone construction with pitched slate roof. Owners Accommodation The owners accommodation is a spacious apartment and is a very attractive element of this sale. Access is private and at ground level from Saltoun Street, the door opens to a staircase which leads up to the first and second floor accommodation. The size of the apartment is exceptional with generously sized rooms and halls. The accommodation comprises two/three delightful bedrooms (one is currently being used as a dining room), a family bathroom, a walk-in store (this was a shower room and all the infrastructure is still in place if the new owners wish to convert it back), a WC, large kitchen and a comfortable lounge with stunning views over the harbour. Whilst this is ideal owners accommodation, equally this part of the property could be used as letting accommodation as part of the overall business. The owners have access directly over an enclosed flat roof from their flat to the 1st floor of the B&B. The subjects benefit from mains electricity, mains gas, water and drainage. The central heating system is gas fired. The premises are double glazed throughout.
