Hardware, Household & DIY, Barrowford, Lancashire

HOME, GARDEN AND DIY STORE in Nelson for Sale

Established a century ago, this very well-known and highly regarded home and garden emporium has traded successfully under its current owner operator for the last 12 years. Our client now looks toward a well-earned retirement and seeks to pass on the reins to energetic new owners who can continue to grow its success and popularity. Offering everything from live plants to a lawn mower or BBQ, this is a one-stop shop for the garden lover and home DIY enthusiast. Key-cutting, paints, hardware, camping and FloGas supply are just a few of the departments within. There is even a comprehensively stocked section for the model train enthusiasts, albeit this does not necessarily need to form part of the sale if not required by new owners.

The premises are located directly off junction 13 of the M65 between Nelson and Colne, a superb location to take advantage of a huge catchment area. A spacious, stand-alone former chapel of approximately 2,500 sq. ft. with its own parking spaces and a wonderful terrace overlooking Pendle Water canal to the rear, where the plants and trees section is found. Utility areas include a staff canteen, Ladies and Gents WC’s, back office, storeroom and a small storage cellar.

Taking circa £220,000 excluding VAT annually and showing good net profits. We highly recommend viewing the shop to appreciate the scale and value of what is being offered. For those not wishing to take on the model train sales element, we believe there is huge potential to add a cafe to the business operation, utilising the idyllic rear outside terrace area. Option to purchase the business with the model train department for £125,000.
