My Own Business are delighted to present this marvellous opportunity to acquire the valuable freehold rights to a thriving income producing home of real quality and further potential, which we are confident you will agree represents genuine value.

This long established, family-run store has become an important focal point of the local, close-knit community in the course of many years’ highly successful trading by conducting an extremely useful and popular retail operation of a wide selection of market-leading daily shopping essentials.

The store’s products include an excellent choice of general convenience grocery items, fresh bought-in bakery and dairy products, general household goods, toiletries, tobacco products, associated sundries and a range of traditional beers, wines and spirits, all displayed to its best advantage in a bright, welcoming and secure customer service area.

“Staveley Stores” also holds valuable, commission-earning National Lottery, Electronic PayPoint, parcel collection and ATM cash machine franchises and would naturally furnish any enthusiastic purchaser with considerable scope for continued growth, not least with regard to still further expansion of the retail products currently offered and to the possible introduction of local delivery services, particularly for elderly customers in outlying areas.

The business would also benefit greatly by operating significantly extended hours in order to improve upon the already high levels of turnover it has achieved in the course of some thirty successful years’ trading in the hands of the current husband and wife proprietors, with the aid of an experienced and motivated team of two full-time shop staff who would be an asset to any purchaser, and we would strongly recommend the earliest possible viewing to avoid disappointment.

Fitted to high industry specifications throughout, these well maintained THREE STOREY freehold corner-sited premises are constructed of local stone and provide excellent and highly functional internal business accommodation to the GROUND FLOOR, which briefly comprises an inviting and glazed corner public entrance directly off Staveley Road into the main, bright and welcoming, open-plan retail sales and customer service area with suspended ceiling, diffused fluorescent lighting and durable industrial non-slip flooring throughout for easy cleaning.

The main public area houses a full range of high quality, purpose-built display racking and shelving in addition to a large, open and multi-decked refrigerated display unit for beers, wines, soft drinks and dairy products, in addition to a glass topped ice-cream conservator, an ATM cash machine and a prominent, fully fitted point-of-sale counter with spirits, confectionery and sundry displays, tobacco gantry, electronic till point, National Lottery terminal and full complement of electronic PayPoint and parcel collection facilities.

Accessed directly from the business premises, or by means of its own separate rear entrance, to the ground floor this wonderful lifestyle opportunity provides an equally high standard of attractively presented and appointed private owners’ accommodation, which consists of a spacious lounge with a large, separate dining room 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 utility room with doorway access to the rear.

To the FIRST FLOOR the property provides further attractively presented and appointed private living accommodation, which consists of a landing area with built-in storage cupboard leading to three good-sized double bedrooms, a large family bathroom, a further single bedroom and a fully fitted shower room.

The first-floor accommodation also affords pull-down ladder access to a large and partly boarded loft space to the SECOND FLOOR, which would afford excellent potential for conversion to additional living accommodation subject, of course, to the obtaining of any necessary consents.

The property also enjoys the benefit of gas central heating and double glazing throughout, in addition to the added security benefits of steel roller shutters to the shop front, CCTV monitoring and a full alarm system.
