SOLD - Birdwell News and Post Office, Barnsley

POST OFFICE AND VILLAGE STORE WITH FAMILY SIZED RESIDENCE in Barnsley.

Established over 50 years ago and a vital asset to this pleasant village located just 4.5 miles from Barnsley town centre in South Yorkshire.  This is a substantially extended freehold property encompassing a ground floor village store with dual Post Office counters, off-licence and news, and the recent addition of a highly popular hot and cold sandwich takeaway.  Located on a major trunk road but with good off road parking for customers and adjoining a village park and play area, the business enjoys good levels of turnover from several revenue streams.  This is already a densely populated community, about to further expand with a large new housing project in development close by.  Additionally, the area is abundant with industry and commerce, providing a steady stream of custom all day long.

THE PROPERTY - The shop originally occupied the end terrace property.  The adjoining terrace house was bought by the current owners, enabling the shop to be extended and the first floor knocked through to make a substantial family home with four double bedrooms (one on the second floor) and two single bedrooms (one currently used as an office).  Large, fully tiled house bathroom with roll top bath and corner shower enclosure.  Second fully tiled bathroom with corner shower cubicle.  Ground floor private accommodation has a fully-fitted kitchen diner and large reception room.  Extra long brick built garage to the rear and wrap around decked terrace seating area.  Utility room.  The retail shop has had a recent total refurbishment, including a modern bank of display chillers along one full wall, energy efficient lighting and air-conditioning recessed into a drop ceiling.  CCTV.  Recently refurbished frontage with electronic sliding door, new windows and signage.  To the rear of the shop counter is the food operation, with a comprehensively equipped catering kitchen and a hooded extraction system.  Deep sink pot wash.  Ample storage racking.  There is an additional house kitchen, fully fitted with modern cabinets and appliances.  Long, shop store room, shelved and with chilled goods storage for the caterers.

SOLD - Sabden Post Office & Village News, Clitheroe

VILLAGE NEWS AND POST OFFICE WITH OFF LICENCE in Saben, Clitheroe

Nestled in an attractive rural village beneath Pendle Hill in the Ribble Valley, four miles equidistant between Clitheroe and Padiham, in east Lancashire. Surrounded by open countryside, the shop is the hub of this village community.  

THE PROPERTY:  Inner parade, terraced property of stone construction. Deceptively spacious, with ground floor retail shop and Post Office counter, and two floors of accommodation, with pleasant walled garden and stunning outlook over open green fields to the rear.  The shop comprises sales area with newsstand, greeting cards, confectionary, gifts and Off-Licence sales. Sales counter with Lotto and offering the usual Post Office services and parcel processing. Rear stores and management area. Staff WC and kitchenette facilities. The property has a cellar.  Accessed via its own entry at the rear of the property and staircase leading to a substantial three bedroomed flat over first and second floors. Currently tenanted on a shorthold tenancy agreement and producing £725 per calendar month. The flat is self-contained with breakfast kitchen, lounge, bathroom and dressing area on the landing. One bedroom to the first floor, and two bedrooms to the second floor. The flat has gas fired central heating and UPVC double glazing. Pleasant paved yard.

THE BUSINESS:  Currently run on short openings to suit the owners, An excellent lifestyle business in idyllic surroundings, with lots of scope for ambitious and enterprising new owners to take the business to another level.  There is so much more scope to develop sales turnover. The shop is closed between 12.30pm and 3.30pm which limits its ability to take more money, and a fresh focus toward stocking more stationary and greeting cards which have a high margin of profit, as well as potentially adding more tobacco products, vaping products and alcohol lines. These obvious profit making opportunities have been somewhat neglected of late, as the owners have elected to trade on much shorter opening times. This represents a tremendous opportunity for enterprising and ambitious new owners to easily raise takings.
