The historic Old Print House building on the Market Square in Kirkby Stephen is to be auctioned this month, with a guide price of £115,000.
The traditional black and white-painted Grade II listed building, which has three storeys and a stone-flagged roof, served as an inn before being converted into a house and later became the Halls Newsagents shop in the town.
The Old Print House will feature in the upcoming live stream auction to be held by BTG Eddisons Property Auctions on 28 May.
Christopher Theocharides, senior commercial surveyor at BTG Eddisons said: “This is a wonderfully evocative and historic building that is a well known feature of Kirkby Stephen’s busy market square. It’s had a variety of different uses over its centuries-long history and it will be fascinating to see what the next chapter holds for the property in the hands of a new owner.”
He added: “Kirkby Stephen is a fabulous Cumbrian town that’s growing as a base for tourism in the Upper Eden Valley and it also benefits from being on the well-trodden Coast to Coast Walk route.
“Because it’s right between the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales national parks and set in amazing countryside itself, that makes it a honey pot for visitors. The chance to acquire a historic, town-centre property, potentially for quite a low price, is certainly a rare opportunity and we are expecting plenty of interest.”
