Cafe & Sandwich Bars, Merseyside

HISTORIC COUNTRY ESTATE CAFE in the Wirral for Sale.

Set in a historic stately home estate courtyard filled with complimenting boutique shops, arts and crafts galleries and businesses attracting lots of visitor and local footfall all year around. Situated on the Wirral, just five minutes from the M53. Playing centre stage within this vibrant and bustling courtyard is a truly wonderful cafe and coffee shop, with a very welcoming and comfortable interior and outstanding outdoor customer seating areas both to the front, and a private terrace with awnings to the rear of the cafe.

Internally, an entrance off the main courtyard leads to a ground floor servery counter and seating area for 22 customers. Open plan steps lead to a first floor mezzanine seating area accommodating 12 to 16 customers, catering kitchen and staff WC. Visitor toilets are provided elsewhere in the courtyard by the estate. Externally, courtyard facing seating, plus a private rear terrace accessed from the cafe exclusively belonging to the cafe. The rear terrace seating area can accommodate circa 40 customers and can also be accessed directly from the estates customer car park. The terrace has covered areas shaded by awnings, a timber built snug area and lots of open air seating.

The business operates between 10am and 4pm seven days a week, with a full-time barista and a reliable team of friendly part-time and casual staff during busier periods. Regular customers include local dog-walking and cycling groups. Annual Turnover £135,500 incl VAT. Currently run on short, daytime only hours, there is huge potential to add additional attractive elements to the cafe, such as an outdoor pizza oven on the terrace for example, or offering an evening bistro menu. Obtaining a licence to serve alcohol would undoubtedly substantially increase cafe turnover. EPC Band C.
