This compact dessert cafe occupies a prominent parade position on Hitchin Road, Stopsley Village, with large display windows, an electric canopy for outdoor seating and two off-street parking spaces. The fitted turnkey setup includes seating for 30, air conditioning, alarm system and exposed-brick modern decor—ready for immediate takeover. Reported weekly gross sales are listed as POA, with promotional material claiming growth potential up to £5,000 weekly; buyer should verify current trading figures.
The sale is for a leasehold business with a premium of £75,000 quoted to include the business name, full fit-out and equipment (vendor-listed original investment over £117,000). Rent is £1,000 PCM paid quarterly with a three-month deposit; a new lease will be provided and the buyer will cover the landlord’s legal fees. The premises total about 34 m² (366 sq ft) and comprises one small bedroom, one bathroom and the trading area.
This opportunity is best suited to an investor or operator seeking a turn-key neighbourhood food business with immediate trading potential and built-in footfall from a loyal local customer base. Material considerations: the area has high crime statistics and is in a generally deprived ward, so factor security and local trading risks into forecasts. Trade and financial claims vary in the paperwork—verification of actual weekly takings, lease terms and running costs is essential before purchase.
In short: a ready-to-run, stylish dessert outlet in a busy local parade that can scale with active marketing and careful cost control. It offers immediate income potential but requires due diligence on trading performance, lease obligations and local trading risks.
