Set on a very busy main road in Sowerby Bridge, this three‑storey leasehold café offers strong daytime footfall and clear scope to grow. The current operation trades short daytime hours as a café/deli with 36 covers across ground and first floors, but previously traded as a café/restaurant — offering straightforward expansion options for a new owner.
Practical features include a good‑sized commercial kitchen with professional extraction, glass display counters, bar/serving counter, customer toilets and second‑floor storage. Weekly turnover is reported at £1,000; the business is priced for a quick sale and offered on a new lease with a described sensible rent. EPC Band B and excellent mobile signal are useful operational benefits.
Notable drawbacks are factual and important: the area is classed as very deprived with high local crime rates, which may affect evening trade and staffing. The café currently operates limited daytime hours, broadband speeds are average, and the premises are leasehold — buyers should budget for marketing, potential refurbishment and any lease/legal costs when planning growth.
This listing suits an investor or operator prepared to invest time and capital to extend opening hours, reintroduce evening service or diversify catering. With immediate passing trade, fitted kitchen and 36 covers, the property represents a low‑entry opportunity to scale a hospitality business in a busy market town location.
