LOCATION
The property occupies a prominent roadside position fronting the A64 at Flaxton, approximately 10 miles east of York and 7 miles west of Malton.

The A64 is one of the principal arterial routes through North Yorkshire, providing the main road connection between Leeds and Scarborough, via York and Malton. The route carries significant volumes of traffic serving both local and long-distance journeys between West and East Yorkshire and the North Yorkshire coast.

The subject site is well positioned directly fronting the A64, approximately 10 miles east of York and 7 miles west of Malton, providing an accessible location within the wider York, Malton and North Yorkshire catchment.

The site benefits from significant passing traffic, with the latest available traffic count indicating approximately 23,000 vehicles per day on average with more in the holiday seasons, on the relevant section of the A64, providing excellent visibility and exposure for a roadside food and beverage operator.

DESCRIPTION
The property comprises the former Jinnah Restaurant, a substantial two storey detached restaurant building with a large car park positioned alongside the A64.

The existing building provides a combination of restaurant, bar and ancillary accommodation arranged over two floors, together with extensive customer parking to the front and side of the property. The restaurant historically provided seating for approximately 150 customers, with the site benefiting from attractive open views across the surrounding countryside.

The property is currently vacant and provides an opportunity to acquire a prominent roadside site with an existing building and the benefit of planning consent for redevelopment.

PLANNING
The property benefits from planning consent for the redevelopment of the site to provide a new roadside restaurant and drive-thru facility.

Planning permission was granted by the former Ryedale District Council in September 2024 under reference ZE24/02105/FUL for: Demolition of existing restaurant and associated outbuildings and erection of replacement restaurant (Use Class E), with associated drive-thru lane, car parking and EV charging infrastructure, access and egress improvements and landscaping.

The approved scheme provides for a substantial replacement restaurant building together with a dedicated drive-thru lane, customer parking, six EV charging spaces, improved site access and egress arrangements and associated landscaping.

The planning consent provides an opportunity to bring forward a new roadside food and beverage operation directly fronting the A64.

Prospective purchasers are advised to satisfy themselves in respect of the planning consent, approved drawings, conditions and any requirements associated with the implementation of the permission.
