There are also great schools in this area including Ivybridge Community College and King Edwards Totnes School. There are some very good primary schools in the area too. The Village consists of only one Shop which is the one for sale, a Pub, a Garage and a Church with tennis courts and croquet. Our nearest town is South Brent which is 3miles away. Our village enjoys the rural life of farming and frequently has sheep, cows and other livestock walking through the village and past the shop. We also have a variety of local residences that support the shop for the essentials in life. There are no street lights in the village which gives great views of the stars on clear nights. It is a very picturesque place and currently the shop has low hours which would suit a lifestyle change. The Shop has been trading for over 130 years with various owners and has always been a centre point of the Village. The sales area is well proportioned for single handed operation of shop business while allowing room to pack and organise Home Deliveries. There are some recent new fixtures, new epos till system, fridges and freezer with a stockroom for storage. The nearest shops of any competition are in South Brent about 3 miles away but there is very little competition from the Home Delivery of Local Groceries, as this has become our niche market. Expansion Possibilities:
There are still many areas of the business which can be further developed as we currently have short opening times these include 2 half days and full closure on Sundays & Bank Holidays. An expansion of trading times and the offering of more services are possible for example Lottery, Paypoint, Deli counter and Tea rooms. There is room to develop more space for deliveries and for stock to the rear of the shop and to expand the size of the sale space if required. Accommodation:
