Set on about 3.95 acres beside the A17, Hurnfield Hargate is a rare freehold commercial site combining a café, farm shop, former museum building and extensive parking including a lorry park. The offering includes two main buildings totalling c.14,700 sq ft and large external storage areas, providing immediate trading space or scope for redevelopment (subject to planning).
This site suits an investor, operator or entrepreneur seeking a roadside hospitality/retail business with scale. The long-standing business has roadside visibility and multiple access points, plus mains water, electricity and drainage. Kitchens are heated by propane tanks (not owned) and the sale is for vacant possession; fixtures and fittings are excluded but may be negotiable separately.
Material considerations are clear and important: current rateable value/rates are substantial (RV £72,500 – c.£37,120 pa as previously assessed), VAT treatment is unclear, and any change of use or expansion will require planning consent. Purchasers must erect specified boundary fencing post-completion and accept rights and easements. The property will be offered by private treaty with potential for auction and will be sold freehold.
For buyers prepared to manage planning, running costs and site responsibilities, the location and plot size offer strong potential — from continuing the café/farm shop to diversifying into truck services, storage, tourism or alternative commercial uses (subject to planning).
