A substantial industrial investment opportunity in Huddersfield, combining a strong immediate income stream with significant long-term residential redevelopment potential, is set to go under the hammer at Allsop’s commercial auction next month.
Known as Bay Hall Mills, the freehold industrial property extends to an impressive 129,827 sq ft and is being offered to investors with a guide price of £1.475 million to £1.5 million. The massive asset currently generates a rental income of £175,000 per annum, reflecting an attractive initial gross yield of approximately 11.9%.
The landmark property is fully let to Camira Fabrics Ltd, a prominent multinational fabric manufacturer that has operated from the site for more than 25 years and has made significant capital investment into the premises over the decades. Camira occupies the property on a secure 10-year full repairing and insuring lease that runs until 2033 with no break clauses, offering buyers guaranteed stability.
Situated within a predominantly residential pocket of Huddersfield, the site offers a rare dual advantage for buyers. While it functions as a high-yielding industrial asset in the short term, the surrounding geography means the site holds excellent future redevelopment prospects. Subject to planning consent and eventual vacant possession, the property could easily accommodate a substantial residential-led housing scheme in the longer term.
Tom Hanson, Commercial Auction Partner at Allsop, said: “Bay Hall Mills presents a rare opportunity to acquire a well-let industrial investment that combines strong income with genuine long-term redevelopment potential. With a long-established tenant, an attractive yield profile and a location surrounded by residential housing, the property offers investors both immediate returns and the prospect of future value creation through redevelopment.”
The lot will be officially offered in Allsop’s July commercial auction, which will be livestreamed online from 11:00 AM on Wednesday 15th July 2026.
