A fantastic opportunity to take on a freshly refurbished, self contained retail unit in one of the most prominent and high traffic locations on Polruan Town Quay. Perfectly positioned to capture the steady flow of visitors, locals, and ferry passengers. EPC B

The Village - Polruan lies on the east bank of the river Fowey, just inside the entrance to Fowey harbour. The village has its own general stores, sub post office, tea rooms, two public houses and a long established boat building and repair yard. The village is connected to Fowey, which has a wider range of small shops and businesses catering for most day to day needs, by a regular passenger ferry. The immediate area is surrounded by many miles of wonderful coast and countryside, much of which is in the ownership of the National Trust.

Once away from the immediate local lanes, there are good road connections to the motorway system via the A38/A30. Railway connections (London Paddington) can be made at a number of local stations (Par, Liskeard & Lostwithiel).

The Opportunity - The Winkle Picker offers a fantastic opportunity to take on a freshly refurbished, self contained retail unit in one of the most prominent and high traffic locations on Polruan Town Quay. Perfectly positioned to capture the steady flow of visitors, locals, and ferry passengers. The premises has a sink but no wc, there are public toilets just a few yards away.

Current Use - Currently run as a gift shop showcasing locally made products, the space also includes a small convenience section offering beach toys, pet supplies, and everyday groceries. The present tenant has successfully added ice cream sales and takeaway hot and cold drinks—popular with both tourists and residents.
A key feature of the premises is the Post Office counter, which provides a well used service to the community as well as a steady foot fall. The Polruan Town Trust would look favourably if this valuable facility continues under the new tenancy.

Further Opportunity - There is an opportunity to operate the public car park adjacent to the Shop, providing a further income opportunity, which is leased separately.
