Former Michelin Star Restaurant in Surrey for sale at £2.5M

Savills, on behalf of restauranteur Serina Drake, is marketing the freehold of The Clock House, for a guide price of £2.5m.

The Clock House is a former Michelin star restaurant in a two-storey building extending to approximately 6,308 sq. ft. On the ground floor, the open plan restaurant and panelled private dining room has capacity for 50 people served by a high quality fitted trade kitchen to the rear. The first floor includes a private reception lounge with bar servery as well as a function room for a range of alternative uses.

There is private living accommodation which is accessible via an internal staircase and an external staircase to street level. At attic level, there are two bedrooms, kitchen and bathroom which have previously been used for staff.

Situated in the centre of Ripley, the Grade II listed Georgian property benefits from excellent connectivity through the A3 and J10 of the M25. The surrounding area includes desirable residential locations and an expanse of varied green spaces including Ripley Green, Dunsborough Park and the River Wey. Nearby operators include The Talbot Inn and The Anchor. The village also has a resident population of 1,710 with a wide and accessible affluent catchment.

Chris Bickle, director, licensed leisure, Savills Southampton, says: “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.”
