Traders Tea and Coffee 
Surbiton, Surrey

Improvements to retail and work shop 
with living accommodation over.

This two storey Victorian building has 
been converted to provide  large  retail 
and workshop facilities for an established 
coffee trader with a self contained and 
separately accessed flat  above.  

Traders were already well established in 
the Surbiton area and had a growing 
business supplying and servicing coffee 
machines to the London restaurant 
and coffee bar trade.  The building, 
previously a bakery, offered substantial
accommodation but much of it was poorly
constructed and of a temporary nature. 

The flat above could only be entered from 
the back of the shop, was in a poor state 
and unoccupied.

The new shopfront provides large windows 
for product display and allows clear views 
into the lively shop interior.  At the rear 
of the shop improved accommodation has 
been provided for office and workshop staff. 

The residential unit has been remodelled 
to provide a two bedroom flat with living 
room, benefiting from a good sized south 
facing balcony.  The party floor between 
the shop and flat required substantial 
upgrading to meet with the new sound 
regulation requirements.
