Description

Description

The Tea Hut is a single storey detached building surrounded by green land inside the river wall, which includes the communal boating lake, access to the public car park and steps to the waterfront.

The Tea Hut has been completely modernised and refurbished by the current owners, with three phase power being introduced into a modern, fitted commercial kitchen, with extraction and upvc windows and doors throughout.

Location

The Tea Hut is located within the attractive riverside town of Woodbridge and is positioned on the river wall, which has extensive views out over the River Deben. The town has a resident population of around 10,000, a railway station and national and independent retailers. Along the waterfront are a number of sailing clubs and recreational parks.

Whether by train, car or bus, all offer convenient access to Woodbridge, allowing residents and visitors to enjoy the unique charm and amenities the town has to offer.

Internally, The Tea Hut has space for 22 covers, a serving counter, commercial kitchen and staff/customer toilet.

Fixtures & Fittings

External Details

A fixed wooden terrace encompasses The Tea Hut providing all year round external covers for up to 70 guests.

To the rear of The Tea Hut are two storage sheds for fridges and freezers, as well as access to the on site toilet facilities.

The Opportunity

This is an exceptionally busy daytime business, which operates throughout the year, but will adjust its opening hours accordingly depending on the season. It provides teas, coffees, cooked meals, cakes, ice creams etc to many people walking along the river wall and enjoying the riverside setting. There are a number of yacht clubs, marinas and sailing clubs along this stretch of the River Deben from where trade is also drawn.

We understand that that property has in the past put on special music events and entertainment.

This is an opportunity which is rarely available and we would advise interested parties to view at their earliest opportunity.
