A THAI restaurant in Stockton Heath has been placed on the market for almost £270,000.

Siam Village, on London Road, has been a recipient of the TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence and earned five stars from the Food Standards Agency for food safety and hygiene since arriving to the village.

But specialist business property adviser, Christie & Co, has now brought the two-floor premises to the market.

Business agent Ashley Cobban said: "This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced licensed operator to get involved in a vibrant and growing Thai food market in an affluent area.

"However, the bright and modern restaurant is largely neutral and could be converted to suit many cuisine styles.

"This opportunity has only become available due to our clients moving back to Thailand.

"It is a well-established operation and is the only Thai restaurant in Stockton Heath.

"The new operator could therefore be up and trading on the day of completion."

Christie & Co is seeking an asking price of £269,950 for the leasehold interest in the restaurant.
