LOCATION
Ilfracombe has long been established as a thriving seaside resort, thanks to its sandy beach, wide range of accommodation and amenities. In recent years it has attracted a more diverse crowd too, including those who come to visit its Michelin-starred restaurant and see artist Damien Hirst’s installation ‘Verity’ that dominates the otherwise traditional harbour. Ilfracombe’s resident population of over 11,000 makes it one of North Devon’s larger towns, and there are solid plans for ongoing development including an additional 1,500k houses and possible marina. Good road and bus services connect Ilfracombe to Barnstaple (12 miles), Woolacombe (6 miles), Combe Martin (5 miles), Croyde (9 miles), Braunton (7 miles), Bideford (22 miles) and South Molton (24 miles).
THE SITUATION
The premises are situated just off the main road through the village of Hele, the A399, and are located on the beachside overlooking Hele Bay. The premises are ideally situated to attract additional seasonal trade as well as being close to a number of towns and villages from which to attract trade out of the main season. Beachside Lodge Park, which has recently been redeveloped, is closeby and consists of 21 units.
THE PROPERTY AND CONSTRUCTION
The property is of two storey construction under a mono pitched roof, which was replaced approximately 12 years ago.

THE PROPOSAL

THE BUSINESS
The business has been in the same ownership for the past 8 years and operates a straight forward menu of hot and cold drinks, ice creams, sandwiches, pasties, snacks, cakes etc but it is thought there is considerable scope to extend the trading period as well as offering evening trade such as Bistro style etc. In a normal trading year the premises would be operated 7 days per week in school holidays and 5 days a week out of school holidays, 6 months of the year, 9am-5pm. Generally the business is operated by the owners with a pool of 4 part time members of staff, although since 2020 no staff have been employed as the owners undertook take-away trade with little / no effect on their net profit from the previous trading year, with turnover normally trading to VAT threshold. Further trade is derived from the sale of beach toys and accessories.
LICENCE
The property is sold with the benefit of a Premises Licence.
