Cafe

The Opportunity
An incredibly rare opportunity has arisen to acquire a highly lucrative, beautifully presented bakery in the affluent heart of Shenfield. This business has been a staple of the local community since 1972, with the current owner successfully steering the helm since 2016.

Boasting a high-end contemporary fit-out with top-tier fixtures, fittings, and industrial-grade bakery equipment, this business blends a rich heritage with modern, premium operations. It is a true turnkey acquisition poised for immediate takeover.

Financial Highlights & Revenue Potential
Impressive Turnover: Consistently averaging approximately £7,500 per week primarily driven by high-margin over-the-counter retail sales. Further financial information can be disclosed to seriously interested applicants following a viewing of the business.

Wholesale Growth Scope: The business currently operates with only one commercial contract. A new owner could easily scale revenue by actively targeting local restaurants, cafés, and farm shops.

Substantial Rental Income: The lease includes a self-contained, first-floor 2-bedroom flat with independent access, capable of achieving £1,400 per calendar month (£16,800 per annum) in additional income, or perfect as owner/staff accommodation.

Fully fitted high-end retail shopfront and commercial bakery.
