COFFEE SHOP AND TEA ROOMS in Helmsley for Sale.
An excellent opportunity has arisen to acquire this long-established and charming coffee shop and tea rooms, ideally positioned in a prime trading location within the popular market town of Helmsley. The premises occupy a central town centre position less than 100 metres from the main public car park, benefiting from exceptionally high footfall. Situated on the edge of the North York Moors National Park, the town enjoys strong year-round trade from both tourists and local residents.
Our client has successfully operated the business since 2012, during which time it has expanded into an adjoining unit and undergone extensive refurbishment throughout.
Annual turnover £224,000 (321 days trading). The business currently trades on manageable hours across seven days a week and closes for approximately six weeks each year. Opening from 10am daily offers clear scope to increase turnover by introducing earlier breakfast trade and extending opening periods throughout the year (our clients inform us they currently have permission to open 9am to 8pm). The operation is run by our client alongside an experienced and reliable team of staff.
The premises are held on a secure lease and comprise two combined properties, creating a spacious and versatile coffee shop and tea room arranged over two floors. The ground floor includes welcoming tea rooms across two areas with 24 covers, a well-presented service area with professional coffee machine and cake display, plus a fully equipped commercial kitchen with extraction system, pot wash area and storage facilities. The first floor provides additional dining space with a further 26 covers across multiple seating areas, together with two WC facilities and a utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer. Externally, the property benefits from an attractive enclosed outdoor seating area with 22 covers, ideal for al fresco dining. EPC band B
