Description

An excellent opportunity exists to rent or buy the premises of the former Bark Pots Tea Rooms in the popular coastal village of Craster.

Formerly run as a tea room and gift shop, these premises are ideally located to be re-opened as a viable tea-room / cafe business or restaurant (subject to any necessary planning consents). The premises come with kitchen appliances and fixtures and fittings (if required) and a stock of gifts are available to purchase by separate negotiation.

Hugely popular premises that will likely generate interest and an early enquiry is recommended.

LOCATION

The premises are located in the popular, picturesque village of Craster located on the Northumberland Coast.

A popular holiday and visitor destination, the village is famous for the 'Craster Kipper' and attracts tourists and walkers all year round. The walk from the harbour to the nearby 14th century ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle is extremely popular.

The premises benefit from their location adjoining the public car park and tourist information centre in the village, meaning nearly all visitors to the village will pass the premises / business.

TENURE

The premises are available to lease at annual rent of £16,800 with term of lease subject to negotiation. Alternatively, offers are invited for the purchase of the freehold interest.

BUSINESS INFORMATION

The business formerly traded as a tea room / gift shop and was a very popular destination in the village.

A chance exists to re-launch a new tea room / cafe or restaurant in this excellent location and allow new owners to add their own stamp to a business. An indication of previous business turnover, which traded successfully for 10 years, is available.

This is a rare and first class opportunity which is likely to generate interest, and an early enquiry is recommended.

SUMMARY

This is a rare opportunity to lease or buy, well known, excellently located premises.

The chance to set up and run a business in the beautiful, coastal village of Craster rarely presents itself and such an opportunity may be of interest to both people local to the region or for people looking for a lifestyle by relocating to Northumberland.
