A rare and highly attractive opportunity to acquire a thriving, high footfall Post Office business, together with substantial and beautifully presented family accommodation, occupying a prominent and well established trading position within a densely populated residential district of Sheffield. The business has been successfully operated by our clients since 2013 and provides a wide range of essential Post Office and retail services to a loyal local customer base. The property, originally constructed as a Post Office in 1865, retains considerable character while benefiting from modern functionality. It occupies a commanding main road frontage with excellent visibility and the added advantage of easy roadside parking, making it highly accessible and convenient for customers. Annual Post Office remuneration £82,777. Annual retail turnover £24,316.

The commercial accommodation is entered via a disabled access ramp, leading into a well laid out sales and retail area. This space incorporates a generous retail display area together with two position Fortress Post Office counter. To the rear of the sales area is a practical back office, which includes a staff area and kitchenette, providing a comfortable and functional working environment.

The private accommodation is accessed discreetly via the back office and is presented to a high standard throughout, offering genuinely impressive living space rarely found with a Post Office business. The ground floor provides a well appointed kitchen diner, ideal for family living, leading into a charming and spacious lounge featuring feature Velux windows providing excellent natural light. From the lounge, bi folding internal patio doors open into a delightful conservatory, which enjoys views over the extensive, private, fully enclosed gardens. The gardens are a real feature of the property and include well maintained landscaped grounds, beautiful pond, summer house, additional outbuildings and detached single garage with remote door. Large storage space under the accommodation which is accessed externally. Off-road parking for at least two vehicles behind a secure electric gate.

One of the bedrooms is particularly spacious and would lend itself perfectly to the creation of a walk in wardrobe or dressing area, adding further appeal.

The Post Office currently operates during sensible, family friendly hours over six days per week and is predominantly staff run, as our clients have other business interests elsewhere. This presents a significant opportunity for hands on owner operators to become more directly involved, reduce staffing costs, and increase overall profitability.

This is a rare chance to acquire an established Post Office business with exceptional residential accommodation, in a strong and densely populated trading location, offering both lifestyle and income potential.
