Units 3 and 4, 19 Broad St, Alresford, SO24 9AR

The business has been successfully owner-operated for approximately nine years and enjoys a loyal local customer base together with passing trade from visitors to the town. The café offers a popular menu of freshly prepared breakfasts, sandwiches, light lunches and hot meals, alongside a wide selection of home-baked cakes, pastries and sweet treats, together with barista coffee, teas and cold drinks.

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

The current owner is of retirement age and has gradually reduced the opening hours to approximately 10:00am to 2:00pm, which has contributed to the recent reduction in turnover. This presents a genuine opportunity for an incoming operator to extend trading hours and increase revenue, particularly by maximising use of the outdoor seating during the spring and summer seasons.

The Courtyard Café is a charming and well-established traditional English café located just off the High Street in the attractive Hampshire market town of Alresford. Accessed via a shared passageway from the High Street, the café opens into a quaint and welcoming courtyard setting, providing a unique and characterful environment for customers.

The premises are held on a lease with approximately five 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, allowing a purchaser to continue trading immediately. Stock will be additional at valuation on completion.

The business is offered for sale at £25,500 due to the owner’s retirement.

A fee of £650 plus VAT is payable by the successful applicant upon completion of the transaction. This fee covers applicant handling, liaison with all parties and assistance in progressing the transaction through to completion.
