This well-established and highly regarded store provides an extensive range of products, including groceries, fresh fruit and vegetables, patisserie items, snacks, confectionery, hot & cold drinks, takeaway sandwiches, hot food, newspapers and magazines, and a wide selection of wine, spirits and beer. The business enjoys strong local support and benefits from convenient parking directly outside the premises. Early viewings are highly recommended.
LOCATION

Bishopsteignton is a large south facing village on the north bank of the Teign Estuary, a mile or two west of Teignmouth. It boasts fine views over the estuary and nearby access to beautiful walks and Teignmouth seafront. Little Haldon Heath nature reserve is situated at the top of the village and there is a local museum, church, pubs, local shops and accommodation. Close to the village are great arterial motorways, the A380 being only minutes’ drive away. It is an equal distance to both Torquay and the Cathedral city of Exeter with a mainline railway, M5 motorway and International Airport.

BUSINESS

This long-established Victorian village store has been successfully owner-operated since the 1850s and is now being offered for sale due to retirement. The business benefits from the support of four experienced part-time members of staff, and one full-time member of staff, who produces a popular range of freshly baked pastries, sandwiches, and handmade chocolates. Widely regarded as the heart of the village, the shop serves as an important community hub and enjoys strong support both from local residents and the many visitors the area attracts throughout the year. With the village seeing a significant influx of tourists and the store being the only convenience shop in the area, the business is exceptionally well positioned.

Current opening hours are 8am–6pm, with earlier closing on Sundays, offering further potential for growth and extended trading hours if desired.
