A turnkey, single-fronted café/restaurant in the heart of Roman Road Market — ready to trade immediately. The premises come fully equipped with nearly new kitchen appliances, coffee machine, refrigeration and cooler units, plus front-of-house furniture, making this an easy plug-and-play for an independent operator or investor seeking rental income.
Practical running advantages include an EPC A rating, air conditioning, double glazing, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The long lease (approximately 995 years remaining) and low ground rent remove common leasehold headaches, while business rates are modest at around £900pa and the service charge is £1,100pa (including building insurance).
The property is compact (around 421 sq ft) with a simple linear layout and two principal rooms, suiting a coffee, sandwich, bagel or small restaurant concept. It sits in an inner-city cosmopolitan area with a wide mix of local amenities and customer footfall from the Roman Road Market. There is no flood risk and the building dates from the early 20th century, with solid brick walls and later-installed double glazing.
Notable considerations: the unit is small, so seating capacity and back-of-house storage are limited. The area records above-average crime levels, and heating is electric (ceiling/electric), which may affect running costs. Walls are solid brick with assumed no insulation, so secondary measures may be needed if you plan longer-term refurbishment or energy upgrades.
