A rarely available beachfront location restaurant and bar to let with Class E Commercial Use and a GIA approx.3,387 sqft with external space
Description
An end of terrace single storey property of brick construction under a flat roof. The western end of the property benefits from a wood clad frontage with the remainder being six sets of concertina style doors with a central customer entrance. The roof protrudes slightly to provide covered terraces to the front sections. Located opposite the property on the beach is a separate stand alone customer area, which may be available subject to planning consent.
Accommodation
The ground floor provides a single open plan trading area with bar servery and space for customer seating to suit the occupier’s preferences. The left section benefits from an open plan finishing kitchen and service area, connected to a good sized dedicated trade kitchen. The kitchen has a hatch for direct takeaway service to the beach as well as a walk-in-fridge and a single staff WC.
Located to right side are further ancillary areas including three sets of customer WCs (one accessible), various storage rooms, office and a former “kiosk” with direct service to the beach.
External Areas
The property has historically benefitted from two main external customer areas to the front with views of the beach and sea.
i) Immediately to the front of the property is a permanent decked terrace area which previously provided approximately 30 seats.
ii) Located in front of the property directly on the beach is a second area which was configured to seat up to 60 around benches and high seats. We understand the Premises License requires the beach area to be used for a maximum of 26 weeks during the period 01 April to 30 September.
The third space is often referred to as the "pop-up" which is an area edged in blue on the premises licence which previously benefitted from a Premises Licence for a limited period in the year, restricted to a 24m x 24m. This has also historically been occupied under a licensing agreement and subject to a separate rent to the main property.
The continued use of this space is subject the grant of planning permission.
