BUILDINGS formerly owned by theatre and training company CragRats have been sold.

The Mill at Dunford Road, Holmfirth, which contains offices, a cafe bar and theatre block, has been sold off an asking price of £500,000 by the Huddersfield office of chartered surveyors Eddisons.

Meanwhile, a former school building on Whams Road, Penistone, was also sold by Eddisons off an asking price of £375,000.

The property comprises dormitory bedrooms and rooms for storage, rehearsals and set building on a site which extends to more than two-and-a-half acres.

No details regarding the buyers of either property or their future plans have been released.

CragRats owned both buildings before going into administration in June last year.

John Padgett, of Eddisons, concluded the sale on behalf of CragRats (in administration) c/o Ernst & Young LLP.

He said: “These deals have been completed – despite some very tough economic conditions – and our client is pleased with the prices we have achieved.

“Our plant and machinery department also assisted in the sales process by conducting a comprehensive asset valuation.”

Eddisons has also announced the sale of The Other Rooms on Queensgate, Huddersfield.

The prominent bar and restaurant premises, which stands opposite Huddersfield University and next to the Kingsgate shopping centre, has been bought by a local businessman off an asking price of £395,000.
