Ipswich has evolved over the years, from lively nights in The Rep to shopping trips to the Eastgate Centre. Take a look at what’s up for grabs.
Eastgate Centre
The Eastgate Centre in Carr Street is up for a £10,000-a-month lease.
Known in time gone past as Carr Street Precinct, the lease includes the length of 13-51 Carr Street.
The centre was reconfigured and substantially reconstructed in the early 2000s to create the parade known now.
The shops are anchored by a 33,000 square foot B&M, with an additional 11 shops on the ground floor, and the large former Sports Direct unit on the first floor.
Orwell Place
Previously operating as a Thai restuarant, this property in Orwell Place has about eight years left on the lease at a rental price of £25,000 per annum.
The lease comes with a dining area, equipped kitchen, 31-cover seating area and a music license in trading hours.
The Rep
A historic part of Ipswich has been standing empty since September 2023.
The Rep, in Tower Street, started with an asking price of £350,000, but that has since dropped to £190,000.
The pub was a home for entertainment in the town for more than 150 years, but was closed long-term due to Covid shutdowns.
Bar A to Z
From Pump and Grind to Bar A to Z, this unit in Great Colman Street has had a busy past.
The town centre bar has a licensed capacity of 485 people, joined to an existing lease until 2032.
The premises is fully fitted, not brewery tied and going for £75,000.
Tavernetta
Originally marketed at £90,000 at the end of 2024, Tavernetta in St Peter’s Street closed, having previously been run with an established reputation for highly rated Italian dishes.
The listing includes a fully equipped state-of-the-art kitchen with all the equipment, fixtures and fittings to run a restaurant.
