LOCATION
Located in the heart of Lynton, close to the Museum and Library and within easy reach of nearby car parks, Charlie Friday's Café benefits from strong footfall from both locals and tourists. Queen Street is a vibrant retail area, home to a variety of independent businesses including a pet shop, hairdressers, art gallery, pub, and other food outlets, as well as nearby guest houses. Lynton, together with its twin resort Lynmouth, is often referred to as the "Little Switzerland of England" thanks to its dramatic landscape of wooded river valleys leading to the sea. Local attractions include the stunning Valley of the Rocks, the historic water-powered Lynton and Lynmouth Cliff Railway, and the breath-taking South West Coast Path.

THE PROPERTY
Formerly The Globe Inn, the ground floor and basement have been transformed into the vibrant and colourful setting of Charlie Friday's Café. The ground floor offers a welcoming, homely atmosphere with comfortable seating, while a feature spiral staircase leads to a stylish basement space—perfect for private functions or use as a music venue. The café is supported by a fully operational kitchen and prep area, along with gents, ladies, and accessible cloakrooms. Additionally, available under a separate letting agreement with the landlord is The Snug—a spacious, open-plan holiday apartment with an en-suite shower room. This versatile space is ideal for use as B&B accommodation, staff housing, or private residence (subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions).

TERMS
The lock-up café is available on a 15-year lease, with 10 years remaining, at a monthly rent of £1,250. The cosy holiday apartment is also let separately at £350 per month.

THE BUSINESS
Once voted Best Coffee Shop in Devon by Devon Life Magazine, Charlie Friday's is a vibrant, family and dog-friendly café located in the heart of beautiful Lynton.

Open 7 days a week from 9am to 5pm, with special Friday evening Mexican Nights, the business is run by the owner alongside two full-time and up to three part-time staff, depending on the season. Annual takings are approximately £295,322, with a gross profit of £180,502 and a strong five-figure net profit after running costs. Charlie Friday's enjoys a loyal following from both locals and tourists. Viewing is highly recommended.
