Description
Life's Better with a Bit of Cheese
A charming West Country Cheese Shop & Deli is for sale, nestled in the sought-after Devon town of South Molton. Specialising in carefully sourced cheeses and quality local products from Devon, the shop also offers artisan breads, charcuterie, milk, hummus, pasta, oils, crackers, chutneys, jams, and an array of sweet treats and beverages. This much-loved community store trades successfully without the need for staff and generates an impressive income for the owners. With low overheads, this is a rare opportunity not to be missed. Early viewings are highly recommended.
South Molton is a popular market town in Devon, and thanks to its size and vibrant town centre, it draws customers from a wide geographical area. The town benefits from the A361 road link between North Devon and Tiverton to the south, connecting with the M5 motorway and mainline rail services to London Paddington and beyond. Known as the gateway to Exmoor, the town is well served with a hospital, good schools, and a local college.
The business has been successfully owner-operated by a couple, without the need to employ staff. It specialises in cheeses, hampers, cheese made wedding cakes, deli goods, artisan breads, and a fine selection of wines, ciders, local beers, and gin. We, the agents feel that there is significant scope to expand the product range, introduce new services, and develop an online sales presence. Trading accounts will be made available following a formal viewing.
