What we have to offer

We plan to attract the public to our community to spend time and money whilst they visit. They can buy beer at the onsite brewery, enjoy a guided tour and relax with refreshments beneath the canopy in our delightful courtyard.

The Courtyard’s first resident has been in situ for over a year and is the Blackfriars Brewery. We also have a contemporary glass designer, sign-maker and graphic design studio, architect and other varied small businesses.

Our ideal new tenants might range from a potter or sculptor to a model-maker, jewellery designer or other creative artisans working in wood, metal, glass - or anything unusual.

If you are looking for a studio-workshop, with or without living accommodation, at an affordable rent in a community of like-minded people, that will be promoted on your behalf as a creative family attraction, then please come and look around The Courtyard and talk to us about your needs.

LOFT LIVING, STUDIO WORKING

The Courtyard offers a new approach to the letting of office and studio space.Half the building is already let, with 9000 sq ft of floor space on three floors. We have given care and attention to design in order to offer four 'living-and-working' units comprised of a 'London loft-style' apartment above with studio workshop below.

Each unit will have individual access from living to working areas via private staircases, with a 560 sq ft one-bedroom apartment with a 600 sq ft work space beneath.

Fully-fitted to a high quality with kitchens and shower rooms, these unfurnished 'living-and-working' units also include 500 sq ft of insulated storage loft space above.

Rents are expected to start at £10,000 per annum.
Unit 1 (Beach View) 560 sq ft (living), 775 sq ft (working)
Unit 2 560 sq ft (living) 600 sq ft (working)
Unit 3 560 sq ft (living) 600 sq ft (working)
Unit 4 550 sq ft (living) 550 sq ft (working).

AFFORDABLE CRAFT STUDIOS TO RENT

Whilst the upper floors of the building are dedicated to the concept of 'living-and-working' spaces, the ground floor boasts three 600 sq ft 'work only' lock-up areas available for rent.

Accessed from the ancient granite courtyard, from which the development takes its name, the units are ideal for local craftspeople who want to take advantage of the benefits of working in a creative hub with other like-minded businesses.

The workshops can be shared spaces, offering areas where individual craftspeople can work together as part of a community of artisans. In addition, there is a fourth unit on the ground floor which can become a joint display and sales area for tenants – conveniently positioned opposite the Blackfriars themed and licensed area.

Rents for shared areas are expected to start from £100 per month plus services. Whatever space you need we can probably provide it - with complete flexibility.

We would like to invite all potential tenants to come for a viewing and discuss your needs with us.

THE COURTYARD DISPLAY AREA

To enhance the use of the courtyard area, we are providing a modern tented cover which is being custom-built by local specialist manufacturers Kirklands. This will provide an attractive al fresco space for craft events, exhibitions and gatherings and even the occasional musical evening, throughout the year.
