High Street, Dorking

THE OPPORTUNITY AND ACCOMMODATION

This traditional shop unit has traded as Oriund Coffee Shop for the last 7 years and the business is available to purchase together with coffee shop fixtures and fittings (inventory provided) as a going concern excluding the antiques displayed. The space is arranged as retail area with counter and kitchen area plus main seating area with steps leading to a further raised additional seating area. Due to covid spacing the current owner has reduced the seated places to around 22 covers but the unit can and did cater for up to around 36 covers. The traditional shopfront with central recessed doorway adds to the appeal. To the rear there is an office/store, WC  and rear access door. A spacious basement is accessed from the retail area and there is one off street parking bay to the rear.

This opportunity could be ideal for a coffee shop operator to grow and expand the current offering or equally as a springboard for other variations such as vegan café, delicatessen/coffee shop etc.

For the purchase of the business commercial information can be provided following signing of a confidentiality waiver.
