Shrewsbury Road, Craven Arms

Samuel Wood is delighted to welcome to the market The Station Café, a well-established and popular local café restaurant. There has been a Café on the site for over 100 years, purchased by our clients' parents in 1996 and have thoroughly enjoyed running the business. This is a turn-key opportunity for a new owner looking to purchase an already existing business, the living accommodation above makes the property a versatile residential and commercial prospect.

The Station Café currently operates 6 days per week with limited opening hours, with high gross profit margins there is scope to increase turnover. The premises boast a large table seating area, well-equipped kitchen with living accommodation over two further floors. Occupying a prime location on the busy A49 road, as the name suggests, the train station is nearby and it is surrounded by residential areas with neighbouring industrial units resulting in trade from the local area as well as walk-ins, tourist, commuters and returning regular customers.

The business dining area and kitchen is located over one floor and can accommodate approximately 30 covers with an outdoor area that can be used for additional seating. Our clients are offering a handover period to ensure the continued success of the business. We feel there is scope to develop the business to increase turnover, flexible options as sole residential personal domestic use, or as investment income from flats subject to planning permission (STPP).

Viewing is strictly by appointment via Samuel Wood, EPC Rating C.
