Location
The retail lock-up café shop fronting onto Evesham High Street is located in the King Charles Court development comprising a series of shops, offices and a public house. King Charles Court is a prominent Grade II listed building within close proximity to the High Street. The development is prominently situated between Vine Street and Bewdley Street, both of which provide access to the units. The café is also just off the Market Place which forms a central focal point between the Riverside Shopping Centre, Bridge Street and the High Street.
Evesham is a busy historic market town lying in the bend of the River Avon. Evesham’s location is close to the Cotswolds, Broadway being some 6 miles away on the edge of the Cotswold escarpment, and Pershore being some 6 miles to the north. Cheltenham and Stratfordupon-Avon are approximately 15 miles distant, and there are good road links to the M5, M40 and M42 motorways. Evesham also has the benefit of a main line railway station linking Worcester and London (1.5 hours) and the station is located at the northern end of Evesham High Street.
Evesham has a population of approximately 24,000 which is still expanding. If the surrounding towns and villages are taken into account, the town centre has a catchment area of over 100,000 people. Facilities within the town are also good with a local hospital, primary, middle and high schools and an active shopping centre.
Commercially Evesham is developing quickly with largescale employers occupying an industrial estate to the southern side of the town. The town also benefits from an active tourist industry, particularly during the summer months, as the River Avon forms a focal point for visitors entering the town.
