The premises comprise a lock-up retail unit with NO residential offering. However, the business offers an established customer base as well as further potential to grow the existing trade via longer opening hours and branding with a symbol group.
The business is well positioned to serve the surrounding residential community, nearby businesses and those travelling along this busy route into and out of the city.
The opportunity is being offered by way of a new 15-year lease agreement.

The store also benefits from a Post Office combination till integrated within the main sales counter area, together with a separate Post Office counter positioned within a secure fortress-style enclosure towards the rear of the shop.
The principal sales counter is situated to the front of the premises, with well-arranged shelving, merchandising displays, and product fixtures located throughout the sales area to maximise customer circulation and trading efficiency.
Ancillary accommodation is provided to the side and rear of the property, offering valuable storage space and staff facilities suitable for the day-to-day operation of the business.
We are advised by our clients that the fixtures and fittings are wholly owned and will be included within the sale.
