Description
This historic Grade II Listed property has been occupied by a varied range of occupiers over the past 50 years including a confectioner, hairdresser, Fish & Chips restaurant, Maison Blanc and, most recently, Patisserie Valerie.
It is air-conditioned throughout and provides c. 1,400 square feet of open-plan ground floor space, with wood-effect laminate flooring and suspended ceilings with pendant lighting and recessed spotlights. The entrance area is currently configured as a serving space with counter while various seating areas are available up a few steps, along with WCs including accessible facilities. Internal stairs at the rear lead up to the first-floor staff area where there is currently a kitchen, walk-in fridges, storage rooms and a further WC. Please note that there is no extraction in place currently.
The property is found at the lower end of Winchester's pedestrianised High Street, close to the famous King Alfred Statue. It is opposite the Guildhall at the junction with Colebrook Street, The Broadway and adjacent to the Cross Keys Passage and just 5 minutes' walk from Winchester Cathedral. The location is typically busy with footfall, since it is next to the bus station and coaches regularly offload visitors nearby.
Neighbouring businesses include Char, Alfie's, Rick Stein, Chococo, Palm Pan Asia, GDK, Wellbeing Pharmacy, Gandhi Indian, BHF, Oxfam, Subway, Crown & Anchor.
