EMF are pleased to present to the market the delightful 'House and Garden Shop', situated in a prime location in the centre of the highly sought after town of Holt in Norfolk Norfolk. Having been established for over 20 years it is no surprise that the business is so well regarded, with many returning customers from near and afar. Being popular with both locals and tourists, an all year round trade is enjoyed and so it is not just dependent on the summer season.

This is an ideal opportunity to acquire a solid, long standing business in one of the best locations in the region with the scope to easily put your own mark on it depending on the vision that you have.

THE BUSINESS

Established many years ago now the business has become a mainstay of Holt's busy high street and market place. Providing items such as pots, glasses, candles, ornaments and larger furniture pieces as well as artwork and antique items there is something for everyone in here, whether for a gift or to adorn one's own house or garden.

The current owner has put their own take on the items stocked, moving with the current trends in unique home and garden wares as well as offering vintage and antique pieces to the discerning buyer. Providing individual pieces and items that can not be found in the mainstream high street shops customers come to see and feel the goods rather than buying alternatives online.

With a turnover of c.£135k per annum the business boasts a strong net profit margin whilst offering scope for someone new to add their own ideas to develop things further. The vendors will of course be prepared to provide a full handover of existing suppliers and contacts as well as details of trade shows where they purchase from to the new owners. There would though also be a clear benefit to someone who produces their own range of gifts or such like to display and sell to what one could say is a captive and motivated audience.

PREMISES

Ideally positioned in the centre of the high street and opposite well known brands such as Joules the shop enjoys a significant amount of footfall on a daily basis. This is a beautifully presented traditional style property benefiting from a full height glazed front which the vendor has recently had covered with a film tint which provides sun protection and strength to the window. The shop has been overhauled during the last couple of years and is now presented in excellent order throughout.

Set over two floors, at ground level you will find the shop showroom with original timber flooring and wall panelling with a range of shelving, cabinets and furniture displaying the many pieces that the shop has to offer. To the rear of the shop there is a staircase leading to the lower ground floor level and an area for the counter and till.

Moving downstairs you will notice that the space has been cleverly utilised as well as being decorated and finished to a similarly high standard as the rest of the property including new carpeting and low energy lighting. On this floor you will find a further showroom with a range of items for sale as well as a staff/stock room with w.c. The hallway has also been used well to provide a further goods display area.

This type of business with it's character and charm is a perfect fit for this type of business and so if this is of interest to you then we would suggest arranging a viewing at your earliest convenience.
