An ‘established and profitable' breakfast and brunch café in the centre of a busy Cumbrian town has joined the market after more than a decade of trade.

The Cottage Kitchen in Kendal, which became the town’s first gluten-free chip shop in 2010, is advertised for sale.

This ‘charming’ establishment on Finkle Street is for sale after 17 ‘successful’ years of business, as the current owners are looking to retire.

Listed with an asking price of £49,950, the café is marketed with business sales company, CoGoGo, who said: “Our client is looking to retire, offering a fantastic opportunity for a new owner to take over this thriving business with an excellent reputation.

“The cafe has built up a loyal customer base over the years, which is reflected in its outstanding online reviews and ratings.”

Located at the heart of Kendal, this ‘profitable’ cafe enjoys a prime position in a high-footfall area with plenty of passing trade, making it a popular place with both locals and visitors.

The café boasts a double-fronted premises with 'eye-catching’ signage, with a ‘cosy’ indoor dining area as well as a ‘pleasant’ outdoor seating area.

The listing said: “One of the cafe's standout features is its dedication to offering a wide variety of gluten-free dishes, catering to a growing market of health-conscious and dietary-specific customers.”

CoGoGo has identified several areas this ‘well-loved’ business can grow, from establishing a website and extending opening hours to offering a catering service and partnering with a delivery service.

The annual business turnover is recorded as £120,000, with assets valued at £15,000 and £1000 worth of stock.
