The popular Old Thatch Tea Shop in the heart of Shanklin Old Village has been brought to the market by specialist property adviser Christie & Co.
The Grade II Listed tea shop offers a large selection of dishes from light bites to main meals, not forgetting the delicious cream teas – a popular choice with tourists.
The Old Thatch Tea Shop has a traditional cottage style interior with original exposed beams and open fire places and offers 3 distinctive trade areas catering for approximately 56 covers, ladies and gentlemen’s toilets, commercial kitchen, ancillary storage areas and 2 bedroom owners’ accommodation above the business.
Owners Pat and Charles, who are selling as they wish to retire, are proud winners of Island Life Magazine ‘Best Teashop and Gardens on the Isle of Wight’, Radio Solent ‘Best Teashop on the Solent’, Isle of Wight Garden in Bloom Silver Award and have been accredited with Tripadvisor’s Certificate of Excellence for the past 5 years.
Richard Wood of Christie & Co’s Winchester Office is handling the sale and comments:
“This is a great opportunity to acquire a seasonal lifestyle business that has significant scope to grow. As it is currently closed for six months of the year, there is ample opportunity for any new owner to open year round and encompass evening trade.”
Christie & Co is seeking £650,000 for the freehold interest.
