Cafe & Sandwich Bars, Osmotherley, North Yorkshire

COFFEE SHOP in North Yorkshire for Sale.

Truly a picture postcard worthy property in an affluent and highly desirable North Yorkshire village, on the edge of the North York Moors National Park. The village attracts tourists and day visitors, hikers, cyclists and dog walkers and its businesses are also loyally supported by the residents of surrounding village communities. The coffee shop provides an atmospheric hub for people to meet for coffee and enjoy a bite to eat. It has outdoor seating directly overlooking the village crossroads and provides truly attractive, warm and comfortable internal seating areas.

THE BUSINESS - An extremely popular and much-loved venue which boasts weekly takings of between £4,000 and £5,000 over just five daytime only openings. There is potential to further improve on this with the introduction of an evening bistro, which would prove hugely popular over the typical pub grub that the village currently offers to visitors and AirBnB residents. The excellent performance of this idyllic coffee shop enables the owners to close and take two months off each year, leaving a further opportunity for energetic and ambitious new owners to increase annual turnover.

THE PROPERTY - A stunning, freehold period cottage property at the head of the village. Pebbled courtyard with seating for 20 to 24 customers.
Ground floor: Entrance to cafe with seating for 18 customers, plus an intimate snug lounge area with stone hearth fireplace and seating for a further six to eight.

A fully equipped catering kitchen with premium brand equipment. Ample chilled storage for service.
First floor: Fully equipped catering prep room, for cake and food preparation, with ample dry storage racking.
Owners’ accommodation is outstanding and includes a modern, fully fitted kitchen, luxurious open plan living room and dining area, washroom with sink and toilet and a landing hanging clothes closet.
