FISH AND CHIPS SHOP in Saltburn-by-the-Sea for Sale.
Ernest Wilson are delighted to bring to market this long-established fish and chip takeaway, which has changed hands only once in the last 63 years. Our client has successfully owned and operated the business since 2006 and is now seeking retirement.
The business is currently run on exceptionally limited trading hours, operating just nine frying hours per week on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings, with no lunchtime openings. This presents a fantastic opportunity for enthusiastic new owners to significantly increase turnover by extending trading hours, particularly during the busy summer season.
The substantial freehold premises are arranged over four floors and must be viewed to be fully appreciated.
The ground floor comprises a well-presented sales shop with customer waiting area and two-pan counter frying range, together with a preparation kitchen to the rear, offering excellent potential to introduce additional food offerings such as pizzas or other complementary takeaway lines. Further accommodation includes a pot wash room, fish preparation area, chipping and rumbling room, together with a small enclosed yard and bin store.
The owners' private accommodation is accessed via the business but also benefits from its own separate entrance, allowing it to be made entirely self-contained if required.
The first floor provides spacious living accommodation comprising a large dining kitchen and generous lounge. On the second floor are two bedrooms, one currently utilised as a home office, together with an impressive house bathroom featuring a separate shower enclosure.
The upper floor has recently been developed by the current owner to create two additional rooms, which are now ready for final decoration and offer further residential flexibility.
Businesses and properties of this calibre rarely come to market. This represents an outstanding lifestyle opportunity to acquire a thriving, long-established business with substantial owner accommodation in one of the most picturesque locations on the edge of the North York Moors National Park.
