Summary - 1, DOVER STREET CT1 3HD
1 bed 1 bath Restaurant
Profitable town centre business with garden and five ensuite letting rooms.
Grade II listed late 16th-century building with historic features
A long-established, successful freehold restaurant set in a Grade II listed late 16th-century building in Canterbury city centre. The premises are presented to a high standard following a sympathetic fit-out that retains historic timber framing, exposed beams and high ceilings, and include a well-executed Garden Room extension plus an enclosed trade garden for alfresco covers. Seating is for 58 covers inside with scope for around 40 in the garden.
The business includes five well-appointed ensuite letting bedrooms, providing additional revenue streams and flexible use for hospitality operators. The property benefits from an excellent central location close to major retail, transport and university amenities, strong mobile signal and a very affluent catchment with cosmopolitan student and professional footfall.
Important practical points: the building’s Grade II listed status will restrict alterations and may increase consent time and costs for changes. The EPC rating is E and heating is by electric room heaters, which could mean higher running costs and scope for energy improvements (subject to listing constraints). The area records higher-than-average crime levels; any purchaser should factor security measures into operating costs.
This freehold sale suits an investor or experienced operator seeking a character-led, town-centre hospitality asset with immediate trading capacity and accommodation income. Viewing and full financial and operational details are available on request for qualified buyers prepared for listed-building stewardship and potential energy/upkeep investment.
