One of Halifax town centre’s cafes is on the market.

Downtown Cafe Bar and Bistro, in Old Arcade, is open as usual but has been put up for sale, with an asking price of £119,950.

According to its listing on property website Rightmove, Downtown has a “loyal and growing customer base” and “growth potential through planned Sunday opening”.

"An exceptional opportunity to acquire a thriving, fully-licensed cafe bar and bistro occupying a highly prominent position within one of Halifax town centre’s most characterful and historic market arcades,” says the listing.

The premises can seat 42 people, with space for 10 more people in the arcade outside.

There is also space on the first floor, says the listing, currently used for storage but which could be used for additional cafe seating, a private dining suite, function room, cocktail lounge or event space.

"Rarely do businesses of this calibre become available on the open market,” says the listing.
