Description
The business operates from a charming end-terrace, two-storey stone property beneath a pitched slate roof, offering both character and strong street presence. The ground floor comprises a welcoming service area with seating for eight covers, a fully equipped commercial kitchen, and a dedicated storage space.

The first floor features an attractive open-plan seating area accommodating an additional 15–20 covers, creating a comfortable and relaxed dining environment. To the front of the property, there are six external covers, ideal for al fresco dining during warmer months and enhancing the café’s overall appeal.

Internally, the premises are thoughtfully laid out with a warm country-style aesthetic. Seating is arranged through a tasteful mix of sofas, chairs, and tables, providing flexibility for a variety of customer groups while maintaining a cosy atmosphere.

The property offers approximately 31 covers across the ground and first floors, complemented by the external seating area. The efficient layout supports smooth day-to-day operations while maximising customer capacity without compromising comfort.

The current owner acquired the business in November and is now offering it for sale due to personal reasons, presenting an excellent opportunity for a new operator to take over a well-presented and inviting establishment with immediate trading potential.
