The Courtyard, Broad Street, Alresford, Hampshire

An excellent opportunity to acquire a charming and well-established traditional café located within a pleasant courtyard setting just off the High Street in the attractive Hampshire market town of Alresford.

The Courtyard Café has been successfully owner operated for approximately nine years and enjoys a loyal local customer base together with regular visitor trade to the town.

The café offers a menu of freshly prepared breakfasts, sandwiches, light lunches and hot food, together with a popular selection of home baked cakes, pastries and sweet treats, complemented by barista coffee, teas and cold drinks.

The premises are arranged over ground and first floor levels and provide approximately 35 internal covers, together with around 20 external courtyard seats, which are particularly popular during the warmer months.

The café is well presented throughout with laminate flooring and attractive décor, creating a warm and welcoming environment for customers.

The kitchen operates on an all-electric basis with no gas supply and currently operates without a full extraction system, reflecting the style of menu offered.

The business is currently operated on reduced opening hours of approximately 10:00am to 2:00pm, which has contributed to the recent reduction in turnover.

Planning consent allows opening hours of:

08:00 – 18:00 Monday to Saturday

11:00 – 17:00 Sunday

This therefore presents a clear opportunity for an incoming owner to increase turnover by extending opening hours and further developing the business.

The premises are held on a 15-year lease, with approximately 5 years remaining, at a very attractive rent of £9,000 per annum (£750 per calendar month).

The sale includes all fixtures, fittings, equipment and utensils, enabling an incoming purchaser to continue trading immediately.

Stock will be additional at valuation on completion.

The business is offered for sale at £35,000 for the goodwill, fixtures and fittings.

Viewing is strictly by appointment through the sole selling agents.
