Historic Edinburgh tearoom tucked into Royal Mile close searches for new owner

A historic Edinburgh tea room is now searching for a new owner to take over the cafe.

Tucked into Chalmers Close just off the Royal Mile, the snug little eatery has seen hundreds of locals and tourists come through its doors over the years.

However, what was formerly Forsyth's tearoom is now lying empty, with the search on to find a new occupier for the premises.

Coming with class three consent, the premises is sitting ready to be taken on again as a cafe or food and drink venue, with a working central kitchen and seating area.

Although perhaps needing a bit of modernisation when it comes to the decor, the cafe also comes with ample storage and customer toilet facilities.

With the summer nearly here, the Old Town is set to see thousands of visitors flock to the area, with the cafe described as being in a "vibrant trading area."

Looking for offers over £27,500 per annum, an advertisement from agents Graham and Sibbald property reads:

"The former tea room is located within the heart of Edinburgh's Historic Old Town but more specifically just off the city's famous Royal Mile.

"The subjects are accessed via Chalmers Close which links the High Street to Jeffrey Street that provides a direct link to Waverley Station.

"The High Street and the restaurant premises are situated within an excellent and vibrant trading area, from the high levels of tourist activity all year round to the heavy footfall from locals day-to-day."
