The owners of Kendall's Farm Butchers in Pateley Bridge have bought the town's former police station and hope to turn it into their new home, according to planning documents.
Former North Yorkshire Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner Julia Mulligan announced last year that the station on King Street would be sold as part of cost-cutting measures.
Officers based at the site were moved across the road where they share space with Harrogate Borough Council.
In July, the commissioner’s office confirmed that the police station was sold for £297,000. It had initially been estimated to sell for £142,000.
A planning application has been submitted to Harrogate Borough Council by Paul Kendall, a third generation butcher, to convert the former police station and adjoining property he bought at auction into one family home.
