Location:

This attractive daytime cafe/restaurant enjoys an excellent trading position just off the main High Street of a thriving sought after inland East Sussex town and it is worth noting that the town that this business is located in, is very well supported and the vast majority of shops are occupied, and the retail scene and High Street appear to be thriving.

Premises details:

The business occupies a very spacious converted barn, which we understand dates back to about 1700 and was originally part of a farm. The barn was built from several different buildings dating from pre-Tudor to the 17th century. In the latter part of the 19th century it was a livery stables, and now as the town has expanded around it over many years, it is located literally just off the main High Street and in a very central position in town.

The barn was converted to a restaurant about seven years ago and soon built a reputation for a good place to meet and enjoy tasty home-cooked food. The premises comprise a delightful converted Sussex barn which has been extensively renovated and now offers a good sized seating area, fitted kitchens and serving counter together with store rooms and an external decked area. The main restaurant also has the benefit of air conditioning/heating.

Main Restaurant - approximately 999sq.ft, spaciously set out with a high beamed ceiling and character leaded light windows and a raised area with balustrade, tiled floor throughout the restaurant and internal seating for approximately 50 customers, with room to expand the capacity, if desired.

The barn also has the extra advantage of a lovely Outside Raised Decked Terrace to the rear with both sunny and shaded areas providing additional seating for 30-40 people on attractive wooden tables and chairs and enclosed by a post & rail fence.
