Indian Nights is a distinctive Neo-Tudor style detached property, extended to the rear and mainly arranged over the ground floor with a small basement. The restaurant is owner-occupied and currently trades primarily for deliveries, benefitting from a Premises Licence to sell alcohol.

The ground floor provides an open-plan trading area with central bar and c.150 covers, supported by a fully equipped trade kitchen and customer WCs. Two self-contained flats with side access are positioned to the rear, while two separate outbuildings provide additional storage.

Externally, the site includes a large car park with 26 spaces and dual entry/exit points directly onto London Road, enhancing its accessibility and appeal to both occupiers and customers.

Planning permission was granted in July 2024 for change of use from a restaurant (Class E) to five takeaway units (Sui Generis). In addition, the property previously benefited from planning consent (now lapsed) for partial demolition and redevelopment to create 12 residential flats. Together, these consents provide strong alternative-use potential for future owners.
