DESCRIPTION
Enjoying a town central position, Jedburgh Chocolate House has long been established as a firm favourite with locals and visitors alike. With a prominent shop frontage, the window benefits excellent display space, ideal for a retail use and catching the footfall of the high street. The main serving and display area is bright and welcoming; with fitted counter and chilled display unit. There is ample space for further shelving and furnishings, or café style tables and chairs. A linking hall opens to further storage, currently fitted out with basic staffroom/kitchen equipment, and a second retail space. The back shop has been upgraded by the present owners and is currently a furniture restoration showroom, with its own rear exit and WC, and has hosted successful pop-up shops in the past for independent crafter and traders.
The property is in excellent decorative condition and offers an exciting opportunity to take on a well-supported business with scope to develop further.
