High Street, Herne Bay

For sale is one of Herne Bay's most iconic and historically significant properties, The Old Cinema, now available as a rare freehold opportunity. Prominently positioned in the heart of town, this landmark building offers a unique chance to acquire a notable piece of local heritage.

The property is currently home to two established businesses, Briggsys Emporium and Briggsys American Diner. The sale includes the freehold interest of the entire building, comprising the commercial premises occupied by the emporium and café, together with the freehold of the block of 3 apartments, all being sold as one lot.

*Please note, with regards to the 3 apartments, the freehold being sold relates to the block as a whole only; the individual apartment leases are held by separate owners and are not included within the sale.*

Rich in character, the building retains many original features, combining period charm with the practicality required for modern retail and hospitality use. Its substantial internal space and strong street presence make it well-suited to a variety of future uses. In addition, the property benefits from valuable external yard areas, offering potential for outdoor seating, display space, or further development (subject to the necessary consents).

There is significant scope to reimagine the premises, with potential for conversion into residential apartments, retail units, or mixed-use development, subject to planning approval.

This is a rare opportunity to secure not just a property, but a recognised part of Herne Bay's history, with considerable future potential. Ideal for investors, developers, or business owners seeking a distinctive and versatile asset in a thriving seaside location. Serious enquiries are invited, and viewings are strictly by appointment.
