Nestled in one of Colchester’s most vibrant and historic streets, this characterful commercial property presents a rare opportunity for investment in a thriving cosmopolitan area. Currently functioning as a café, it generates a consistent annual rental income and features an inviting courtyard garden that enhances customer appeal. The spacious, open-plan layout includes a well-equipped kitchen and ample basement storage, making it a versatile space fit for various food and beverage operations.
While the property promises excellent foot traffic and is surrounded by an array of independent retailers and cultural attractions, potential buyers should note the current lease ends in April 2027, which may limit financing options. The high local crime rate and the challenges associated with its listed status should also be considered. However, if you envision the potential for a successful hospitality venture in an established, centrally located neighborhood, don’t miss out on this investment opportunity. Act quickly—properties like this in vibrant city center locales don’t stay on the market for long!
