GENERAL INFORMATION

THE BUSINESS

Station House is a very successful and well established 'chamaeleon' business, in the heart of the delightful town of South Brent, on the edge of Dartmoor. The business is open for 9am to 5.30pm every day, with extended hours in the summer, serving a range of breakfasts, lunches, coffees and homemade cakes with afternoon teas. The premises is licenced with beer on tap, wines, ciders, soft drinks and has strong Dartmoor ice cream sales, in the summer.

The business also caters for a range of functions, including birthday parties, anniversaries, music events, wakes etc. These are popular throughout the year and support the main cafe business, with the letting rooms.

The letting rooms are all very well appointed and a valuable addition to the business income. However, these rooms have not been marketed to their potential in recent years and could certainly be increased considerably under new ownership.
