A thriving and award-winning delicatessen in an excellent trading position within the sought-after town of Ashburton, Devon. Providing an impressive income together with a delightful 3 x bedroom apartment above with separate entrance. Attached is a two-storey barn (development) and the business benefits from a brigade of staff who can fully operate the business or be complemented by an owner – you choose! Within the shop, there is
much unexploited space and huge expansion potential. Early viewings are highly
recommended.
Situated within Ashburton’s town centre in a prime position, taking
advantage of high pedestrian and vehicular passing trade, together with excellent
free and pay parking opposite. It is within close proximity to many amenities,
and with the beautiful landscape of Dartmoor nearby, this is excellent for
attracting a great deal of visitors, as well as transport links such as the
A38, allowing for easy access to Exeter and the national motorway network.
This well-established business trades very well and is constantly busy
and draws upon custom from a large geographical area. Previously, it was operated
by the owner but, because of personal circumstances, it now benefits from a brigade
of staff who are able to fully operate the day-to-day operation. We, the agents,
feel there is untapped potential to the rear of the shop and that the two-storey
barn to the rear could be developed with residential usage in mind. Actual
trading accounts will be made available following a formal viewing.
