Mid-Counties Co-Operative, 3-5 High Street, Shipston-on-Stour, Warwick, Warwickshire, CV36 4AB

The store is positioned on the High Street to a popular Warwickshire village called Shipston-On-Stour. The village can be found right at the Northern edge of The Cotswolds, sitting on the banks to the river Stour. All of these bring in trade to the store, as they each attract seasonal tourism for the town. In the surrounding areas, there are many caravan parks and camping sites located just outside of the village which bring in extra footfall to the village High Street. However, Shipton is also home to approx 5,849 residents as of the 2021 census, and hosts two local schools. Shipston-On-Stour is found along the A3400 which links the village to neighbouring villages and towns such as Stratford Upon Avon and Chipping Norton, and even Oxford via the A44.

The retail trading area extends to approximately c.2600 square feet, with the ancillary areas located at the rear of the store, extending to approximately c.406 square feet. The trading area offers several aisles which are made up of numerous gondolas. To the rear edge and width of the store is the frozen food section with approximately 4 x 4m freezers, the chilled food section is made up of 4 x 4m fridges and 2 x open front refrigerators. To the front of the store and next to the main entrance are the cashier desks, with a total of 4 tills, with tobacco cabinets behind.

All fixtures and fittings will be listed before an exchange of contract in a detailed inventory.

Located above the store are 2 x residential apartments, both of which have their own individual access points located to the rear of the store. Each dwelling offers electric heating and would make either a home for a retailer wishing to live onsite, or an ideal investment opportunity. One of the residential dwellings holds a fixed term tenancy, with the existing tenant paying £7,800 per annum in rental income (£650pcm). The other residential dwelling is to remain vacant for the purpose of the sale.

Externally, the property offers a fantastic frontage with plenty of exposure onto the High Street through the large window displays. There are double doors that provide access into the building at street level making this easily accessible for any consumer. To the front of the store entrance is a shallow footpath which then opens into the public parking bays that are owned and managed by the local authority.
