The Poorhouse cafe in Great Ayton up for sale for Β£75,000
The Poorhouse, on Great Ayton High Street, operates out of a Grade II listed building – once attended by Captain James Cook when it was a school – and even boasts its own garden.
Having been trading for more than six years, the business is a hit with locals.
The popular cafΓ© serves cakes and pastries during the day, turning into a bar at night offering stone-baked pizzas and alcoholic beverages.
The historic venue can seat up to 70 people inside, with a further 30 spaces available in the garden area.

The first-floor space is leased out as a clothes shop, bringing in Β£700 per month rental income.
