For the first time in over 65 years, the freehold interest in the renowned Brights Jewellers premises, together with the associated residential accommodation, is being offered to the open market. This represents a rare opportunity to acquire a well-known landmark property in the heart of Scarborough town centre. The property occupies a highly prominent position on St Nicholas Street, one of the town’s principal commercial thoroughfares, benefitting from strong levels of footfall and visibility. The building has long been associated with Brights, a name synonymous with fine jewellery and quality goods in Scarborough, which is well recognised locally.
The combination of a prime retail unit with significant residential elements offers considerable flexibility, either for continued mixed-use occupation, investment purposes, or potential redevelopment (subject to the necessary consents).
For the first time in over 65 years, the freehold interest in the long-established Brights jewellers premises, together with associated residential accommodation, is available on the open market. The property is prominently situated in Scarborough town centre and comprises a substantial part-commercial, part-residential building extending to approximately 4,522 sq.ft.
