SOLD - New Longton Post Office, Preston

VILLAGE STORE AND POST OFFICE in Preston 

One of the finest village store and Post Office businesses we have had the privilege of bringing to the open market.  First time to the market and in the same family ownership for over 35 years, it is only now, due to retirement, that we offer this business and property for sale.   The village store has traded at this location since the 1950’s and is a vital hub in this affluent, attractive and sought after suburban village approximately four miles south west of Preston in Lancashire.  In addition to the thriving newsagents, high margin greeting card sales and convenience goods business, a Post Office was added some 12 years ago and has proven to have made a huge impact on the community and the success of the business in general.  Only one of the owners is involved in the day-to-day running of the village store and the Post Office is predominantly staff run.  The village store runs seven newspaper delivery rounds.  The store is tremendously popular and recognised for its exceptionally friendly service, the staff having even won awards that reflect this.  Highly prominent corner property central to the village and in close proximity to the village sports grounds and central Police station.  The property is partially single story with a flat roof, but the majority of the property is two storey to provide substantial three bedroomed, self-contained living accommodation.  A further extension and secondary staircase was added to accommodate a ground floor library / garden room with patio door access to the private walled garden.  The first floor private accommodation is very attractive with high quality kitchen and bathroom fixtures, three double sized bedrooms with large windows providing lots of natural light and a good size corner living room with a picture window and double patio doors to the flat roof.  Diner and modern, fully fitted kitchen.  Gas central heating throughout.  At the exterior there is the aforementioned private garden, plus a small additional yard to the right side of the property and hard standing parking with double garage to the left side of the property.  The commercial portion of the premises is all on the ground floor.  Large display windows and entry to an open plan sales shop with dedicated areas for news and magazines, greeting cards, stationery, off-licence items, chilled beverages, groceries and snacks.  Sales counter with sweets and tobacco.  Post Office counter with ample administration areas and parcel storage room.  Staff WC.  Our client advises that their website is included within the sale.

SOLD - Foundry Coffee Roasters, Sheffield

CAFÉ in Sheffield

Surrounded by the business district, this café is situated in an outstanding, prominent and central location.  The cafe draws much of its daytime business from the surrounding offices and professional firms, but is not even scratching the surface of its obvious potential.  The café was acquired by the current owners in order to simply provide a “shop window” for their primary business which is a coffee roasting company.  Huge potential exists here to fully promote a lunch offering in addition to coffee, cakes and sandwiches.  Outside catering and a delivery service would also prove to be very lucrative facet of the business.  In addition to the elegant ground floor café servery and seating, the lower floor provides additional intimate seating areas with comfortable sofas as well as a side room capable of accommodating 12 to 16 people for private parties, events or just as a meeting place.  There are so many under-utilised areas of the business, including a huge separate room which could easily host large business meetings, be used as a group training facility, or the space could be possibly opened up to accommodate a complimentary business, such as for fitness classes.  So much potential exists here to maximise the space available and create additional income. Business on lease. Ref: 583485
