Building 72 at Ordnance Yard, a superbly presented restaurant unit situated in the village of Lower Upnor in Kent, has been let through specialist business property adviser, Sidney Phillips.
The property is situated in the charming village of Lower Upnor on the western bank of the River Medway, which holds historic significance due to its strategical position at the bottle neck of the River Medway and is formed around a naval and military background. Modern day Lower Upnor is predominately residential, supported by a range of local amenities including pubs, a church, climbing centre, Medway Yacht Club and Upnor Castle.
The property is a unique former Ministry of Defence mine store, situated in a former Ordnance Yard. It is understood that during World War II the building was used for filling mines with gunpowder before loading back onto naval vessels. The property is surrounded by other historic buildings of note including former torpedo stores and bomb shelters. It has been lovingly and extensively renovated and converted into the superbly presented restaurant providing ground floor and mezzanine dining areas for 86 covers, as well as a rear decked patio area.
Robert Cockayne, Regional Valuations Manager for the London & South East handled the letting and comments, “Building 72 has been let to the Rodrigues family, a dynasty well-seasoned within the restaurant industry, who already boast popular venues in both Devon and Essex. Their authentic Madeiran cuisine offers a mouth-watering range of recipes handed down the generations and I for one am very much looking forward to visiting. The rustic feel of the property is a great accompaniment for this cuisine.”
