The business specialises in the sale of crystals, minerals, fossils, rocks, silver jewellery, oils, tarot cards and incense.

Description - The business (which was originally called Cosmic Trading) has operated successfully for the last 20 years.

Around 7 years ago, the business was purchased by the current owner.

The current owner successfully guided the business through the turbulent waters of Covid leaving it in a strong position. She is now looking to retire, passing on the reins to a new entrepreneur.

The property benefits from a traditional shop frontage with signage fascia above and inset customer entrance door. This opens directly into a retail area with laminate covered floor and a variety of light fittings.

The accommodation includes a ground floor shop, therapy room, w/c, and storage area.

The business specialises in the sale of crystals, minerals, fossils, rocks, silver jewellery, oils, tarot cards and incense.

There is the possibility to increase the range of goods on offer.

The landlords of the wider building have indicated that they would be prepared to enter a new 5-year lease with the purchasers of the business at a rent of £10,000 per annum.

The business is ideal for single persons or a ‘husband and wife’ team.

The business is only open Monday to Saturday from 10.30am to 4pm.

Gross Internal Area: 33 m2 / 354 sq ft.

Location - The business trades from a shop on the popular throughfare of Gillygate. Gillygate links York City Centre to the main campus of St John’s University meaning that there are generally very good levels of footfall.

We would also comment that the shop is on the better side of the street from a retailing perspective.

Services - We understand that mains services of electricity and water are connected to the property.

The property benefits from electrical heating, including a heater above the customer entrance door.

A full list of Inventory is available to seriously interested parties.

Rateable Value - The property has a Rateable Value of £9,000. This should enable the possibility of full Small Business Rates Relief.

We believe that the property falls within a Conservation Area.

Prospective purchasers of the business are invited to make their own enquiries with York City Council in terms of any alternative uses.

Energy Performance Certificate - The property has an energy performance rating of D. A copy of this is available to view at the agent’s offices.

All stock to be included within the sale except for some specific items that the seller will retain. These will be pointed out on viewing / inspection.

The landlords have indicated that they would be prepared to enter a new 5-year lease with the purchasers of the business at a rent of £10,000 per annum (although a rental deposit maybe payable).

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
