Description

Description

This is a unique opportunity to acquire a high-turnover leasehold convenience store, which has shown consistent growth under our client's ownership. In 2022, the store underwent a comprehensive refurbishment, costing over £115,000, and now boasts a spacious, well-organised ground floor layout, offering a comprehensive range of chilled, ambient, and frozen foods, fresh produce, ready-to-eat meals, chilled beverages, dairy products, alcohol, ice cream, confectionery, and tobacco. To the first floor is an equally impressive floor space offering a great opportunity to develop into three apartments (subject to relevant consents) and potentially provide an additional income source.

Location

The site is prominently located along Market Place in the heart of Howden, a bustling market town. This prime location ensures a consistently high level of foot traffic. The site is also surrounded by complementary businesses, including a chemist, pub, and estate agent, enhancing its appeal. Howden, situated in East Yorkshire, is a sought-after market town approximately 16 miles southeast of York and 3 miles north of Goole.
