Christie & Co has brokered the leasehold sale of the fine dining restaurant, Kathton House in the Kent village of Sturry with funding secured through finance broker, Christie Finance.
Situated three miles from the City of Canterbury, the 40-cover restaurant benefits from a courtyard area, and one guest bedroom. There is also a three-bed owner's accommodation.
Generating significant interest, the restaurant proved to be the ideal purchase for local first time buyers, Justin Grenham and Corina Andro.
Syrous Amirpashaie had purchased the freehold of Kathton House towards the end of 2017 through Christie & Co and was keen to lease the property. Amirpashaie commented, “I am delighted to have secured new tenants in Justin and Corina in such a short period of time and wish them well in their new venture running Kathton House.”
First time operators, Grenham and Andro said, “We would like to thank everyone involved for their help in securing Kathton House. We are pleased to be entering into this venture and to have taken over a great team at the restaurant, and we look forward to a long and successful journey.”
James Hughes, Business Agent at Christie & Co’s Maidstone office, who handled the sale, commented, “I am delighted to have brokered the sale of Kathton House on behalf of Syrous Amirpashaie and wish both parties all the best for the future.
'As exemplified by this sale, the market in and around Canterbury continues to remain robust as we see a number of select buyers searching for high quality property in the area and we anticipate this trend to continue throughout 2018.”
