CPS Property is delighted to offer to the rental market this substantial and highly prominent commercial premises at 7 Market Street, Armagh, formerly trading as the well-known Embers Restaurant. Extending over two levels and accommodating circa 100 covers, this property represents an outstanding opportunity for restaurateurs, café operators, or commercial occupiers seeking a high-profile city centre location for retail purposes.

While the building is currently laid out and equipped for restaurant use, making it ideally suited for immediate hospitality occupation, it also offers excellent scope to be reconfigured or remodelled to accommodate a wide range of alternative commercial uses, subject to any necessary consents.

Raised Front Reception Area (7.81m x 5.60m):

A full commercial-grade kitchen and prep area remains in situ, providing a significant advantage for hospitality operators seeking a turnkey restaurant or food-led premises.

This property offers a rare letting opportunity in one of Armagh City Centre’s most vibrant commercial locations.
