This well-established and regarded village shop and post office, located in a picturesque village in the North of Essex, has been serving the community for over a century. It holds a special 'Community' status for its post office, ensuring it remains a vital part of the village infrastructure. The business is only being sold due to the current owners' plans for retirement.
Supported robustly by local residents and those from surrounding villages, the shop benefits from a loyal customer base. It is strategically positioned in an affluent village centrally located, which ensures a continuous stream of customers from nearby amenities, including public houses, a school, business suites, and new housing developments that contribute a local workforce.
Convenience is paramount, with parking available for customers. The property also includes spacious three-bedroom accommodation, complete with private parking and a garden, offering comfortable living spaces for the new owner or additional rental income opportunities.
The business shows promising financial health with a current turnover of £380,000 and accounts readily available for review. No immediate competition, the closest supermarket is a Tesco located a 10-minute drive away, allowing this village shop to cater effectively to local needs.
Included in the sale are essential fixtures and fittings like a brand-new commercial oven, chillers, a till, and a hot food unit, offering a fully operational setup for the new owner. Currently, the business employs three staff members, but it could be managed by an owner-operator.
Although the business has a modest online presence via Facebook, it presents an opportunity for growth in digital engagement. Training opportunities are available for the new owner to ensure a smooth transition and sustained operational success.
The freehold price for this prime location business stands at £850,000. This sale represents a rare opportunity to acquire a thriving business with deep community roots and a significant historical presence in the heart of Essex. Interested parties are encouraged to inquire further, as this attractive business won't remain on the market for long.
