Market Jew Street, Penzance, Cornwall, TR18 2HN

This is a wonderful opportunity to acquire a popular Leasehold Cafe in the centre of the thriving harbourside town of Penzance, that is available by way of an assignment of the existing 15 year lease at a current passing rental of £1,750 pcm. A feature of note is that the building also benefits from a spacious 1 bedroom apartment with views towards St Michaels Mount from the top floor. 

This delightful business has been operated by our clients for several years with the assistance of a small team of trusted and experienced employees and is now being offered for sale due to family commitments.

The Terrace Cafe has enjoyed a consistent turnover in recent years of circa £250,000, and through choice, our clients currently trade Monday to Saturday from 10am to mid-PM and are closed on Sundays. There is in our opinion, tremendous scope for new owners to develop the business through extending the opening hours to include evening & breakfast service in the Summer months along with possibly obtaining a premises licence for the sale of alcohol (subject to the requisite consents).
