The Acoustic Café & Falkirk Loft is a tremendous twin business opportunity located in the heart of Falkirk town centre. Strategically located next to Melville Street car park, this highly visible trading location is approximately 150 metres south of the pedestrianised high street as well as being situated a short walk from Falkirk Grahamston train station (Edinburgh & Glasgow mainline).
Falkirk is regarded as an important business centre within Central Scotland and lies midway between Glasgow and Edinburgh. The town benefits from excellent communication links, with the M9 and M876 both within a five-minute drive from the town centre. Falkirk also benefits from two main line railway stations with Falkirk High lying on the main Edinburgh to Glasgow route.
The property is an interesting and uniquely presented offering with accommodation arranged over ground floor (Acoustic Café) & first floor (Falkirk Loft).
Acoustic Café is a well-presented café/coffee shop for 30 internal covers. The premises and business are offered for sale on a going concern basis to include all commercial equipment and a full inventory will be supplied to purchasers after a formal offer is received. The business has an external raised decking area with seating for 4 picnic benches and an electronically controlled retractable awning.
Falkirk Loft has an open plan living room and high specification kitchen, double bedroom, utility area with washing machine and dryer, shower with quality fittings and WC. The loft has solar panels fitted on the south roof area which generates an income from the grid of around 1k per annum. The north roof has 5 roof lights which have solar powered blinds.
The property was imaginatively developed by our client several years ago to create an inviting café and coffee shop and a separate first floor letting accommodation. Initially the letting accommodation was completed in 2012 with Falkirk Loft trading successfully since then, generating a healthy annual income. Our clients choose to list the letting accommodation on Airbnb. The accommodation is popular with returning clients, business people working in the area, as well as visitors attracted by the Falkirk Wheel and the Kelpies Visitor Centre. The Acoustic Café opened in 2016 and has traded strongly since opening.
The premises are closed on a Sunday and are open every day 9am – 3pm except Thursday which opens 9am – 7pm. Thursday evenings are devoted to a popular music night.
Given the site is only open 46 hours a week and closed on a Sunday, there is huge scope and potential for increased turnover with extended opening, evening opening and notably Sunday opening. The live music offerings allow for a different and popular strand and a welcome business diversification. The premises is also utilised for the display and selling of guitars, which acts as an additional sideline business.
The business is run on a hands-off basis by our clients and is well run on a full-time basis by four part time members of staff.
The business trades with restricted class 3 cooking consent for the coffee shop as well as the appropriate short term let licence for the letting accommodation.
