Description
Located in the heart of the village on Place de la Biaigerie in Longe, this character property offers a rare opportunity to operate a bar-restaurant with on-site living accommodation. The lease covers the entire building, combining commercial hospitality space on the ground floor with a spacious residential apartment above.
The Buildings :
The property is arranged as a traditional village establishment designed for hospitality use, with the commercial areas at street level and residential living space upstairs.
Ground Floor – Restaurant & Bar :
The ground floor is fully configured for food and beverage service and includes several distinct areas designed to accommodate customers comfortably.
The main entrance leads into the bar area, which serves as the central service point for drinks and customer reception. Adjacent to the bar is the restaurant dining room, complemented by a veranda dining space that provides additional seating in a bright and pleasant environment.
The restaurant also includes a professional kitchen area, designed to handle preparation and service for a full restaurant operation. Customer WC facilities are located on the same level for convenience.
The layout naturally separates service and dining areas while maintaining good flow between the bar, kitchen, and dining spaces.
An exterior terrace provides outdoor seating potential during warmer months, allowing the business to expand capacity and attract seasonal customers. The property also includes a garage, which can be used for storage, deliveries, or operational needs.
The building benefits from central heating and functional building services, allowing immediate commercial use.
First Floor – Residential Apartment :
Above the commercial premises is a private residential apartment forming an integral part of the property.
The apartment includes :
Three bedrooms
Bathroom
Laundry room
Separate WC
The layout provides comfortable living space suitable for a family or several occupants. Natural light and ventilation are present in the living areas in accordance with residential standards.
An additional attic (loft) space offers useful storage and may present potential for future conversion depending on regulations.
Habitable Space & Rental Potential :
The apartment significantly increases the value and flexibility of the property.
It may be used as :
Owner accommodation
Living on site is ideal for a restaurant operator, allowing easy management of the business while reducing housing expenses.
Staff accommodation
The three bedrooms allow housing for employees, chefs, or seasonal staff, which can be a major advantage in rural hospitality operations.
Independent rental unit
The apartment can also generate additional income if rented separately. With three bedrooms, it could attract long-term tenants or be used for short-term tourist accommodation depending on the business model.
This combination of commercial premises and habitable living space is particularly attractive for entrepreneurs looking for a lifestyle business.
Business Opportunity :
The lease designates the property specifically for bar-restaurant activity, making it well suited for a café, brasserie, village pub, or restaurant concept.
The premises already include the essential infrastructure for hospitality operations:
bar service area
restaurant dining space
veranda seating
kitchen facilities
customer sanitary facilities
terrace seating
storage and garage space
This allows a new operator to focus primarily on interior improvements, branding, and menu development rather than major structural renovations.
Financial Terms :
The annual rent is €5,000 excluding tax, equivalent to approximately €416 per month, which is extremely competitive for a property combining restaurant premises and residential space.
