Location
The business is located on the High Street in Carrville, which is the principal road running through the heart of this village community approximately 3 miles due east of Durham city centre.
The premises form part of a busy secondary shopping parade which includes a SPAR store and a pharmacy. There is a designated car park serving the parade.
Business
This is a relatively recently established deli and coffee house site which was opened by our client in 2023. The opportunity has been reluctantly placed on the market owing to a change in personal circumstances.
The premises are configured to provide a main dining area at the front with up to 20 covers with a service area towards the rear. At the back of the premises there is a well-equipped kitchen plus a small store and a staff W.C. All the equipment was new at the point the business was opened and there would be little for any new owner to attend to at the point of purchase.
The current menu is traditional coffee shop fare with hot and cold drinks and snacks and a very popular breakfast offer. There are also popular daily specials and these are promoted on the Deli’s Facebook page. The current trading hours are short and the lease permits opening until 11pm in the evenings.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a turnkey business with scope to expand both the menu and trading hours. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the location and the potential that this site offers.
