A ‘ready to go’ golden opportunity to own and run a slice of Crowland history. The Old Copper Kettle incorporating Bridge Cottage, is a 400 year old thatched period property transformed into a Tea Room/Cafe in the heart of the town of Crowland, close to the historic tourist attractions of The Abbey, Trinity Bridge and everyday life. The property also has spacious four bedroom accommodation set over two floors. Viewing is strongly recommended.

Built approximately four hundreds years ago this thatched and highly recognisable combination of The Old Copper Kettle and Bridge Cottage offers a ‘ready to go’ Cafe business opportunity with substantial and recently decorated living accommodation included. Enjoying many uses over the years from a Dentist, post office, gift shop, grocers and chemist to name a few, the property was originally three cottages joined into one.

The premises now offer a spacious, fully equipped, Cafe business with recently decorated Kitchens, preparation areas along with attractive dining and drinking areas set amongst charming period features. There is also an Office space and Conservatory, which could potentially be reclassified to add to the business or residential accommodation increasing its versatility further.

The property also boasts spacious, four Bedroomed living accommodation set over two floors with a kitchen, Dining Room downstairs and it’s own entrance separate to the business offering a potential rental opportunity alongside a good size Carport /storage building over the shared gated driveway. The thatch was completely replaced in 2018 by Cobb thatching Ltd a member of the NSOMT and the property has recently had gas radiator heating fitted.

The property is in North Street the centre of Crowland, close to the historic tourist attractions of Crowland Abbey and the Trinity Bridge along with daily activities of this busy town and its main parking/shopping facilities all helping to attract custom to the business side of the premises.

Viewing is strongly recommended to appreciate how simple it will be to re-start this well known business, the attractive and spacious accommodation offered and how to develop it still further.
