Set on New Elvet in Durham city centre, this compact high‑street retail unit is well suited to a student‑focused café or takeaway operator. The prominent glass frontage and open seating area draw natural light and passing trade from nearby university buildings, shops and attractions. The property includes a fitted trade counter, a fully equipped back‑of‑house kitchen and staff W/Cs for immediate trading.
The location is a key strength: short walks to Durham University, the historic core and the riverside, with excellent public transport links and strong footfall from a cosmopolitan student neighbourhood. The unit’s rear entrance simplifies deliveries and servicing, making it practical for food and drink or convenient retail operations.

The space is modern and ready to trade, with potential to increase turnover through targeted marketing, extended opening hours or reconfiguration of the floor plan.
