The freehold of The Clock House restaurant in Ripley, Surrey, has been put on the market with a guide price of £2.5m.
The former Michelin star restaurant offers 6,308 sq ft over two floors in a Grade II-listed building. On the ground floor, the open plan restaurant and panelled private dining room has capacity for 50 people and the first floor comprises a private reception lounge with bar as well as a function room for a range of alternative uses. At attic level, there are also two bedrooms, which have previously been used for staff.
Chris Bickle, director in the licensed leisure teams at Savills Southampton, which has been appointed by restauranteur Serina Drake to market the opportunity, said: “For the last 20 years, The Clock House was at the pinnacle of Surrey’s dining scene achieving a Michelin star and 3AA rosettes. The recent closure provides an opportunity for a new owner to explore a variety of uses, subject to consents, which may include food and beverage, residential or alternative use. This property is filled with character and its historic traits make it unique in itself, and we are expecting a high level of interest.”
