An exceptional opportunity has arisen to acquire a fully operational and well-presented fish and chip shop, currently trading as Dr. Cod Fish & Chips. This established takeaway is ready for immediate trade and comes fully fitted with high-quality equipment valued at approximately £30,000, making it an excellent turnkey business for an aspiring operator or an experienced professional looking to expand.

The premises comprise a customer-facing service area with tiled flooring, tiled wall coverings and a suspended ceiling incorporating inset lighting. The layout leads through to a dedicated kitchen and food preparation area, fitted with stainless steel work surfaces, commercial extraction, frying equipment, heated display units, refrigeration and ancillary storage.

The existing configuration provides a practical arrangement between the service counter and kitchen facilities, with durable finishes and an established commercial fit-out suited to takeaway food use. The inclusion of the existing fixtures, fittings and equipment offers a purchaser the opportunity to make use of the current layout, or adapt the premises to suit their own requirements.

The property is well situated on High Street in Easington Lane, a well established village within the Houghton-le-Spring area of Tyne and Wear. The location benefits from a local parade of shops and services, providing a convenient setting for commercial occupiers serving the surrounding residential community. The premises are also well placed for access to Houghton-le-Spring, Sunderland and the wider County Durham area, with local road links connecting to the surrounding towns and villages. The property is also conveniently positioned close to local bus services, with stops nearby on Pemberton Bank, providing connections for the surrounding area.

The property may appeal to owner-occupiers seeking established takeaway premises, as well as investors or operators looking to expand their portfolio, subject to any necessary consents. Located in a well-trafficked area, the shop has the potential to attract both regular local customers and passing trade. Its current setup is ideal for immediate takeover, with no additional capital outlay required on equipment or refurbishment.
