An exciting opportunity has arisen for a business start up or relocation at the site of the former public toilets at Morchard road on the Main A377. The location would suit a cafe or similar and benefits from good passing traffic and from ample parking and a sizeable grassed area for picnic tables. The site is owned and will be leased from Mid Devon DC. The building will require some renovation and making suitable for purpose and the cost for this will be the reponsibility of the lease holder/operator, although Mid Devon will be prepared to undertake some works in the first instance. The level and length of lease will reflect the initial outlay required. The local authority will have continued liability for the building, disabled/unisex toilet facilities and the bus stop.

The council would like to receive bids for the operation of this facility and these should be made through Helmores no later than the 1st August 2022.

If any potential operator would like to discuss this further then please call Andy Bridgeman on 01363 777999 or email [email protected]

Term - Minimum of 2 years, up to 5 year lease possible

The facilities that were formerly public toilets are situated on the A377, at Morchard Road and are situated directly opposite the turning to Morchard Bishop and the Devonshire dumpling restaurant. This is on the left hand side if travelling West toward Barnstaple
