Retail premises for sale in Chester Road, Chester CH3

Proposition

Here we have a self-contained freehold trading take-away with potential to improve the current business turnover by enlarging the food offer, extending the trading hours and introducing home delivery options.

The property has been subject to building improve-ments, but internally is in need of modernization and investment. The first floor (former flat) is presently disused, but could easily be brought back into residential use as part of a comprehensive scheme of upgrading.

The price includes fixtures and fittings. The current tenant will vacate on sale. Please note - there are no business accounts available, nor is any premium being sought to reflect a business purchase. This is an opportunity for a purchaser to acquire a business property and invest in it.

Situation

Chester needs little introduction. Chester Road is an extension of Sandy Lane which runs from its junction with the A51 down past the River Dee, and its car parks and boating clubs, through the suburban area of Great Boughton, and becomes Chester Road thereafter.

Chester Road is therefore an important and busy commuter route in and out of Chester City on its Eastern side, connecting Saighton Camp, Saighton school and the outlying Cheshire villages of Aldford, Farndon, Saighton and ultimately Holt and Wrexham. The exact location can be seen on the accompanying map.

The property is set in a small parade of shops, including a hairdresser, Indian Take-away, and a convenience store, all of which serve the immediate high-density areas of Huntington and Caldy Valley.

Property

The property comprises a well maintained semi-detached two storey building, which has been recently re-roofed and externally redecorated. It has been further enhanced with UPVC windows throughout and modern full height shopfront.

Internally the ground floor comprises a front reception area, and a rear kitchen and preparation kitchen with full extraction.

The first floor is disused save for the use of the bathroom facilities, but provides for potential to conversion back to residential.
