A rare and exciting opportunity to own a slice of Morpeth's history presents itself with the sale of Savannah on Swan, a charming and successful Georgian-style cafe located within the circa 1847 Bond store, one of the town's most treasured architectural highlights.
A buyer could come along and continue operating the cafe as it currently stands, it is well known as one of the best in the area. Another option could be to expand on the restaurant, potentially opening for night service or offering a revamped menu. Investors could convert the site into units, it is set on two titles and zoned as residential, with commercial approval. With plenty of ways to make an income, development opportunities are huge.
Located in a prime location with the historic Morpeth bridge in view, the Savannah on Swan features a picturesque courtyard looking out towards the river, panning across stunning farmland plains. Set over three storeys, and with a veranda off the back at street level, the cafe has become a destination for locals and tourists alike, known for its great coffee, food and ambiance.
