A long-established Top of the Town cafe has been put up for sale with a price tag of £250,000.
Darnley Coffee House, situated on Bow Street, is just a short walk from Stirling Castle, making it a frequent pit stop for locals and tourists alike over the years.
The coffee house is set in a Grade A Listed building and features original 16th Century barrel-vaulted ceilings and traditional stone walls, creating plenty of atmosphere for up to
30 guests.
The coffee house is popular for its variety of freshly baked goods, soups and speciality coffees and has been owned by Niall Pleace for the past 20 years.
Niall has now decided to sell to focus on other interests.
He said: “It has been an absolute joy running the Darnley all these years, there’s no place like it, but it is time for a change for me. I hope whoever takes it on gets as much pleasure from running it as I have.”
Simon Watson, business agent at Christie & Co who is handling the sale, added: “Darnley Coffee House will appeal to a number of buyers due to its size and location within a busy tourist hotspot.
“The coffee shop can be easily managed with only a small number of staff, this lends itself to existing multiple operators but will also appeal to an owner operator looking to take more of a hands-on approach, with the opportunity to add to the current success.”
