Summary - Sun Cottage Snack Bar\nMain Street\nHawkshead\nAMBLESIDE\nLA22 0NT LA22 0NT
2 bed 1 bath Takeaway
Established chip shop with living accommodation and clear growth potential.
- Prominent Main Street location in Hawkshead village
A rare leasehold takeaway in the heart of Hawkshead, Sun Cottage Snack Bar occupies a prominent Main Street position within the Lake District National Park. The ground-floor commercial kitchen is fully equipped with substantial gas range, fryer and stainless-steel counters, and there is outdoor seating for about 16 covers — useful for the steady visitor trade in this popular tourist village.
The building is arranged over three floors and includes living accommodation above: a kitchen/living room, bathroom and two double bedrooms with pleasant views towards Latterbarrow. The flexible layout and separate external access to upper floors give scope to improve the residential space or expand trading hours to boost turnover.
Currently the business trades limited hours and remains under the VAT threshold, so there is clear potential to increase turnover by extending opening times and marketing to both locals and tourists. Note the commercial lease originally ran 25 years from 2012 and has 11 years remaining; this is a material issue — many mortgage lenders will refuse to lend against a short lease, and purchasers should plan funding accordingly. The property is being sold on internal repairing and insuring terms with current rent at £13,500 per annum and three-yearly rent reviews.
