A rare opportunity to lease a shop in one of the most sought-after retail locations in Cambridge has come on the market with Cheffins’ commercial department.

The shop on King’s Parade is opposite King’s College Chapel, one of the most popular tourist attractions in Cambridge and close to the market square and city centre.

Benet’s Café are the current occupiers and they will remain trading from the adjoining unit which they also occupy.  

Situated in a Grade II Listed building, the shop has an open-plan sales area of 420 sq ft with a basement beneath for storage and staff facilities.

Premium offers are being invited for the assignment of the existing lease which has a rent of £34,800 per annum. It is considered suitable for a range of uses under Class A1 (Shops), but food and drink related uses will not be permitted.

Mark Drummond, a commercial agency surveyor at Cheffins, said: “Shops on King’s Parade become available so rarely that we are expecting a good deal of interest.

“Last year, we leased the former home of Lawson Gallery to souvenir shop Cool Britannia on King’s Parade and we were blown away by the quality of retailers interested and the number and level of the offers.

“We are hoping for something similar with this property.”
