3 bedroom detached house for sale

A landmark Pickering building on the market for the first time in nearly 40 years.

The sale of Aquarian Hair Design offers the opportunity to acquire a substantial mixed use commercial and residential property, set within a generous plot with ample off-street parking and located within a stone’s throw of the Market Place. Offering the potential to create two separate income streams, the sale will appeal to investor and owner occupiers alike.

The building is believed to have been designed by the renowned Railway architect, G T Andrew’s, who also designed both York and Pickering station and is well worthy of its grade 2 listed status with three distinctive semi-circular windows dominating the front facade.
