According to the listing on Rightmove, from agents at Stonebridge Shaw, the property comprises of front and rear outdoor seating areas, with the al fresco seating boasting some 40 covers between them. These consist of bespoke solid wooden tables and bench seating, as well as log planter borders, a patio area and canopies above the cloakroom.
Inside the cafe, there are covers for an additional 40 people with more solid wooden benches and tables with spotlights above, and a further cloakroom, it states on Rightmove. The current owners will be leaving the majority of items within the premises, giving any incoming tenant the opportunity to take over the already running business and start trading immediately.
Current owners of Nectar House say: “I hope the next tenants will provide a brilliant café and environment for our regulars to continue to enjoy.”
The Nectar House is known and loved by locals for its variety of coffees and freshly baked croissants and handmade cakes.

Its garden is filled with bee friendly plants and bee hotels, and all of the honey purchased comes from local bee keepers who only practice ethical treatment with their hives. With a 4.7 star Google ranking, The Nectar House is a firm favourite among locals.
