In a prime tourist trading location situated in the popular vibrant friendly harbour town of Watchet and overlooking the harbour, this Grade II listed character property is ideally placed for passing trade. At the corner junction of Market Street and Swain Street the property is opposite the Museum and close to all amenities. Watchet is approximately 9 miles from Minehead and 15 miles North of Taunton. Recent developments include East Quay a popular arts and crafts centre and of course the Steam Railway Station is nearby.
THE PROPERTY
This fine property is believed to date back from the early 1800's or maybe earlier according to the heritage listing. With attractive fishtail tiles to the front high roof elevation the property offers large accommodation over two floors.
There are two cafe/shop areas, three public cloakrooms, a fully fitted kitchen, stock room and wash room to the ground floor. Upstairs are three good size bedrooms, a bathroom /WC plus a large through lounge/diner overlooking the harbour as well as a kitchen, box/office room and further room over the stock room.
With two staircases it is easy to see that this versatile accommodation may suit two families and that the shop areas are ideal for a variety of uses or maybe even as an art gallery in keeping with the arts/crafts theme in the town. To the rear is a small enclosed yard and a first-floor veranda.
THE BUSINESS
This property has ceased trading as a cafe and has been used for pottery and painting. As such the business is not for sale as a going concern but the trade could easily be re-established. We are advised by the owner that a licence is still in place.

Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on September 1, 2022
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
