The subject property occupies an outstanding and highly visible corner trading position with little in the way of direct local competition in the good and well populated residential village suburb of Toll Bar, which lies on the busy main A19 to all the many amenities and attractions of the nearby famous horse racing town of Doncaster (approximately 3 miles) in South Yorkshire.

We are delighted to present this fantastic opportunity to acquire the valuable freehold rights to a thriving commercial and residential proposition of real quality and outstanding future possibilities, which we are confident you will agree represents exceptional value.

This long established and highly regarded motoring enthusiast’s ‘Aladdin’s Cave’ currently primarily conducts an extremely useful and popular retail operation of an extensive selection of market- leading automotive parts, spares and associated accessories.

The store’s products include replacement bulbs, plugs, fuses, springs, filters, wipers, brakes, clutches, batteries, hub caps, car paints, body kits, alarms, lubricants, waxes, polishes and associated sundries, all displayed to its very best advantage in a bright, spacious and secure showroom area.

“Parkers Motorist Discount” provides its services for a long-standing and still expanding, repeat and referral customer base drawn from throughout a wide surrounding catchment area, with a considerable volume of year-round ‘walk in’ trade generated by its prime main road position, and would naturally furnish any enthusiastic purchaser with ample scope for continued growth, not least with regard to possible expansion into the provision of local home delivery and wholesale trade supply services and to exploring the ongoing development potential of the property’s substantial outbuilding for possible business expansion services.

The business would also benefit greatly by adopting a far more vigorous marketing policy of its excellent existing products and services, particularly with reference to the possible introduction of online advertising and ordering and to further development of its social media presence, in order to improve upon the already high levels of turnover it has achieved since being established in its present form some thirty successful years ago by the current proprietor, with the aid of a small, experienced and motivated team of two full-time and one part-time staff who would be an asset to any purchaser.

Alternatively, this versatile proposition would most certainly appeal to someone simply looking to very significantly increase their existing investment portfolio by the acquisition of a substantial and extremely well located additional freehold property which would be eminently capable of achieving a very healthy return on initial capital investment, either in terms of future rental income from the existing business and private accommodation alike, or future sell-on value after residential development subject, of course, to the obtaining of any necessary consents, and we would strongly recommend the earliest possible viewing to avoid disappointment.

These substantial, well fitted and well maintained TWO STOREY freehold semi-detached premises provide excellent and highly functional internal business accommodation to the GROUND FLOOR, which briefly comprises a broad, inviting and recessed, double-fronted public entrance directly off Askern Road (A19) into the main, bright, welcoming and deceptively spacious, open-plan retail sales and customer service showroom area with diffused fluorescent strip lighting and durable industrial non-slip flooring throughout for easy cleaning.

The main showroom area houses a full range of high quality, fixed and freestanding, purpose-built display racking, shelving and furniture for an extensive selection of market-leading automotive parts, spares, accessories and consumables, in addition to a prominent and fully fitted display point-of-sale counter area with full complement of payment facilities.

Further ancillary internal accommodation to the ground floor consists of a staff kitchen area and all the usual washroom/WC facilities, together with two large general storerooms with separate delivery door access to the rear.

The business premises also enjoy the added security benefit of a full alarm system.

Accessed by means of its own separate, self-contained entrance and staircase from ground-floor level, to the FIRST FLOOR the property provides comfortable, convenient and versatile living accommodation in two separate apartments, which comprise:-

APARTMENT 1

Consisting of a good-sized lounge and a fully fitted domestic kitchen housing ample work surfaces, wall and base storage units, fitted sink unit and a full range of appliances, together with one double bedroom and a fully fitted bathroom/WC.

APARTMENT 2

Consisting of an open-plan lounge/bedroom and a fully fitted domestic kitchen housing ample work surfaces, wall and base storage units, fitted sink unit and a full range of appliances, together with a separate, fully fitted bathroom/WC.

The property also enjoys the benefit of electric heating throughout.

Externally:

To the front the business premises are well signed and presented and afford extensive and inviting, double-fronted display window space onto a busy village through road, with unrestricted customer parking available locally.

The property also incorporates a useful and fully enclosed private service yard area to the rear with secure gated access and outbuildings consisting of a substantial, brick-built TWO STOREY workshop and storage unit, which would naturally afford excellent potential for residential or commercial development purposes subject, of course, to the obtaining of any necessary consents.

The business is well fitted throughout and a valuable inventory of equipment is to be included in the sale price
