An apartment also sits on the second floor, with a double bedroom, fully fitted kitchen, and shower room.

Estate agents Newby James said: "The property offers huge potential as an investment to convert (subject to planning) or an opportunity for a business owner to live and work in the desirable market town of Knaresborough."
