Description
The Tea Hut is a single storey detached building surrounded by green land inside the river wall, which includes the communal boating lake, access to the public car park and steps to the waterfront.
The Tea Hut has been completely modernised and refurbished by the current owners, with three phase power being introduced into a modern, fitted commercial kitchen, with extraction and upvc windows and doors throughout.
The Tea Hut is located within the attractive riverside town of Woodbridge and is positioned on the river wall, which has extensive views out over the River Deben. The town has a resident population of around 10,000, a railway station and national and independent retailers. Along the waterfront are a number of sailing clubs and recreational parks.
Whether by train, car or bus, all offer convenient access to Woodbridge, allowing residents and visitors to enjoy the unique charm and amenities the town has to offer.
Internally, The Tea Hut has space for 22 covers, a serving counter, commercial kitchen and staff/customer toilet.
Fixtures & FittingsAll fixtures and fittings are owned by the current operator and will be included in the sale.
External DetailsA fixed wooden terrace encompasses The Tea Hut providing all year round external covers for up to 70 guests. To the rear of The Tea Hut are two storage sheds for fridges and freezers, as well as access to the on site toilet facilities.
The OpportunityThis is a thriving daytime business operating year-round, serving teas, coffees, cooked meals, cakes, ice creams, and more to visitors strolling along the river wall and enjoying the picturesque riverside setting. The location also benefits from trade drawn from the numerous yacht clubs, marinas, and sailing clubs along this stretch of the River Deben.
Historically, the property has hosted music events and entertainment—an area that presents excellent potential for growth, alongside the opportunity to extend trading to seven days a week.
Opportunities like this are rarely available, so we strongly recommend early viewing to avoid disappointment.
The business is run by the current owners assisted by one full time member of staff.
Trading InformationTrading information will be made available to interested parties once a viewing has taken place.
Trading HoursThe current owners trade Wednesday - Sunday all year round.
TenureThe property and business is being offered leasehold, subject to a ground lease for which the property is currently due to expire in March 2036 at £644.50 per quarter.
Business RatesThe current rateable value as of 1 April 2023 is £6,300. As this amount is under the £12k threshold, it means that rates payable are zero.
