Former Secret Herb Garden and Distillery
Until recently the site was in operation as the Secret Herb Garden Café & Bistro. There is now a commercial opportunity to utilise the existing structures for a new business venture. We have summarised the main buildings as follows:
Glasshouse
The Glasshouse is an impressive feature of the site and includes an integral watering system and commercial growing areas. New doors and canopy systems have been installed. The area can be utilised as a seating/dining area, as well as for growing.
Distillery and Bar
Situated to the rear of the shop is a distillery and bar area which has been extended to accommodate a contemporary bar and tasting room. The distillation room is modern construction of steel portal frame with brick infill walls.
Shop, Store & Catering Kitchen
To the front of the site is a timber framed building containing retail space with generous storage, utility room and WC facilities. Attached is a kitchen benefitting from a separate access door.
Private Office
A converted Shephard’s Caravan provides a small office facility which has been fitted out internally for its intended use.
