This is a charming 18th Century leasehold property situated in this beautiful, rural location which offers spacious accommodation and an easy to run, licensed, village general stores and tea rooms. The business trades in very short hours with the tea rooms being closed in the winter months and offers potential for further sales if the new owner wants to expand the business - huge potential for bed and breakfast trade with some investment in to the accommodation, (subject to necessary consents). The business also benefits from users of local holiday cottages and other tourist accommodation, particularly in the summer. This is the only shop in the village and is therefore exempt from paying rates - the rent here is exceptionally low (bordering on being a "peppercorn"). Annual turnover £42,249.

Whilst the premises are in need of investment, this is a genuinely rare opportunity to acquire a leasehold business in such an idyllic, rural location with potential to increase trade and perhaps introduce bed and breakfast accommodation.
