Cafe And Daytime Bistro In Sleaford Lincolnshire For Sale

Business description

Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this popular café and daytime bistro, which was established by our clients in 2007 and which is only now being placed on the market due to other business interests. The business is housed in a landmark grade II listed windmill, which our clients have renovated throughout to include new electrics, fire alarm system, the reinstating of the upper floors, exterior tarring and redecorating throughout. The business operates at lunchtimes only, with the exception of some Sundays and for private parties, which leaves plenty of scope for expanding the business. Full financial information is available on request. The café provides a range of hot and cold snacks and beverages, with the emphasis on fresh local produce and home cooked food. Our clients also offer a range of affordable antiques, art, vintage jewellery and collectibles. There is the opportunity for a new owner to extend the opening hours and perhaps utilise further floors for additional covers. There is also potential to convert the top two floors into a studio flat/owners' accommodation, subject to the relevant permissions being granted. The property is long leasehold and the ground lease term remaining is 975 years. We feel this represents a unique opportunity to acquire a popular town centre café and bistro, situated in such a delightful iconic building and with immense scope for future growth. Early discussions with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
