About this property

  • Description
    Leasehold for sale of landmark 'trophy' property with excellent billboard / promotion / branding potential in prime retail location of Bournemouth. The Obscura Cafe is unique. It was built approximately 20 years ago and is one of Bournemouth's most recognisable buildings. The two storey, pavilion-like structure has been designed to maximise its orientation to a south facing aspect and offer a year round opportunity for customers to enjoy the hospitality on offer. The ground floor extends to approximately 1,800 sq ft and accommodates 68 seated customers with additional space for standing. In addition, at ground floor level, there are storage areas, customer WC's and a loading bay, making deliveries convenient. The first floor extends to approximately 775 sq ft and can seat a further 48 customers.

    The outside space is a great asset to the cafe. The demised premises include not only the areas beneath the front canopy where around 50 'under cover' seats are provided but a large section to The Square overlooking the Central and Lower Gardens where a further 250 customers can be seated.
