AN EXCEPTIONAL BUSINESS WITH INCOME, PROPERTY & LIFESTYLE APPEAL
An opportunity to acquire a long-established and highly regarded village convenience store and Post Office, positioned within a desirable and well-connected village setting on the edge of a highly sought-after National Park.
Trading for over a century, having been established in 1921, the business has become a key part of the local community, benefiting from a loyal customer base, multiple income streams and a strong reputation. The opportunity combines a stable and profitable trading operation with residential accommodation and additional space, creating a well-balanced lifestyle opportunity with stable income.
This is a genuine retirement sale.

OVERVIEW
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial village store and Post Office operation offering:
• Consistent and reliable trading performance
• Secure Post Office income stream

• Multiple complementary revenue streams
• Three-bedroom residential accommodation
• Additional outbuilding providing flexible space (subject to permissions)
The business is currently operated in a straightforward and manageable manner, while offering clear scope for further growth under new ownership.

BUSINESS MODEL
The business operates as a traditional village convenience store, supported by a diversified income profile.
Retail sales form the core of the operation, complemented by a secure Post Office income stream which generates approximately £35,000 per annum and drives daily footfall.

• Ancillary retail lines
The model provides a balance of stability and flexibility, with opportunities to enhance higher-margin areas of the business.

The accommodation provides a comfortable and practical living space, suitable for owner occupation as part of a live-and-work lifestyle.

ADDITIONAL LAND & DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL
The property also includes an additional outbuilding of approximately 900 sq ft, providing useful additional space which may be utilised in a variety of ways, subject to the necessary permissions.
