No.3 is located in an affluent suburb of York approximately 1 mile from York City Centre. It enjoys a prominent position on the main high street at a busy junction and benefits from good footfall and a high concentration of residential properties in close proximity. York has a large population of over 140,000, which swells considerably with tourists during the main holiday seasons and students during term times.

The unit is laid out across one floor. It is accessed via the front from the main high street which leads into customer spaces. These extend back much further than the frontage suggests and are fitted in a modern and contemporary style.

The café is set up for 36 covers currently, although it may be possible to increase this. There is a mixture of tiled and lino flooring with seating mainly on spindle back chairs set at tables.

To the rear of the customer spaces are large serving counters and chillers with a small deli and service area.

The ancillary spaces are to the rear and consist of a well-fitted kitchen with a range of stainless-steel fitments, customer toilet, prep area, storage and washing up area, as well as an office.

External – At some time in the past the property was a private residential dwelling. What was previously the front garden areas have been utilised for outside seating and tables. At the rear is an enclosed service yard, which is used for the bins and storage.

The property benefits from double glazing and central heating.

Our client has owned the business for over 6 years and is now looking to pursue some other business opportunities. They have built on what was a very solid base and developed a successful and profitable business. It has a loyal local following from the nearby residents and benefits from a lot of passing trade.

The business has a licence to serve alcohol, although our client does not currently make great of use of this beyond opening until 9pm on a Friday evening. There is a clear scope to develop this side of the trade. Currently, very little outside catering is undertaken. There is huge demand for this, with them regularly turning away requests.
