Staithe & Willow Tea Rooms, 16 Lower Street, Horning, Norwich, Norfolk, United Kingdom, NR12 8AA

A stunning example of a character, thatched building, dating back to the 1600’s. The business is built over two floors, and a holiday cottage and self-contained gift shop were added later. The property oozes charm having kept many original features, with the current owners keeping it in fantastic condition throughout.

Externally, the property features a picturesque terrace overlooking the river, as well as public parking in front, private parking and a garden in
the rear.

With breath taking views of the River Bure, The Staithe ‘n’ Willow in Horning is located firmly on the Norfolk Broads. Horning is a popular village, accessed via the Norfolk road (A1602), just 11 miles north east of Norwich and under 30 minutes to the coast.

Horning exudes a traditional village charm, with its thatched
cottages, historic architecture, and welcoming community spirit. You’ll find local shops, cozy cafes, and friendly pubs. The village maintains a close-knit feel while providing convenient access to essential amenities.

The ground floor trade area briefly comprises:

* Restaurant (30)
* Snug (12)
* Commercial kitchen
* Customer toilets

Access to the holiday cottage, with the living room on the ground floor and one bedroom on the first floor.

The first floor owners accommodation is accessed via the restaurant, and comprises a one bedroom flat fitted with kitchenette and bathroom.

All fixtures and fittings are owned outright and will be included in the sale. An inventory will be provided once a deal is agreed.

One bedroom holiday cottage over two floors comprising living room, kitchen, bathroom and large double bedroom.

A rare and exciting opportunity to own a piece of history in the ever popular location of the Norfolk Broads. Previously run as tea rooms, a bistro and a take-away, this business is versatile and would suit an experienced operator with a proven concept. With the addition of a gift shop, generating £7,200 per annum on a separate lease and the holiday let, this business has the opportunity to grow within all three of these revenue streams.

The current owners have not worked in the business for several years and are looking for a retirement sale.

The property has been leased for the last few years and is now closed, so there are no accounts available. The previous tenants ran the business as their own and achieved great feedback which can be found on the tripadvisor page.

The business closed in January 2024 on a previous lease that has now expired.

Freehold.

A separate lease for the gift shop will be assigned as part of the sale.

The current rateable value as at 1 April 2023 is £8,300.
