The former bar outlet in the town has potential for regeneration as a café, bar, restaurant or shop. The Ram Ba Ba offers a ground-floor trading area of 1,800sq ft, with an outside patio. AG&G's Anthony Alder said: "This may appeal to a local entrepreneur. The property is situated in an established area of Orpington with Pizza Express next door and Ask around the corner. The Rum Ba Ba represents an ideal first-time buy." The new occupier will benefit from a fully-equipped kitchen.
