Paul Hubbard Commercial are delighted to present this well-established, mixed-use freehold property in the heart of the sought-after village of Banham, Norfolk.
This Grade II listed building includes a thriving post office and retail shop, along with a spacious 3-4 bedroom house and a range of outbuildings, all set within a generous plot. With approximately 3,922 sq ft of floorspace across the shop, post office, residence and storage areas, this unique property offers an ideal blend of business and lifestyle potential.
Positioned in a prominent location within the village, Banham Post Office enjoys excellent visibility and footfall, bolstered by the nearby Banham Zoo which attracts over 250,000 visitors annually. The post office is extremely well used by local residents and tourists alike, and with no direct competition in the area, it presents a rare and secure business opportunity. Owned and successfully operated by the same family since 2010, the business has become a cornerstone of the community.
The commercial element comprises a bright and spacious retail area to the front, with a highly popular post office to the rear. There is also an adjacent internal storage room which is ideal for stock but could also serve as an office to support the business. This could also been used for additional retail space, should the new owner wish to expand the shop’s current offering.
Also accessible via the shop is a spacious, cobbled cellar which could provide additional storage.
All business-related fixtures, fittings and equipment are included in the sale, and full accounts are available on request, making this a turnkey opportunity for an incoming owner-operator.
The business is currently run by the two owners who work full time, with assistance from 3x part time members of staff which totals around 50 hours per week. The business is also exempt from business rates due to a full rural business exemption.
The adjoining residence includes 3 to 4 well-proportioned bedrooms, with potential to convert the attic into further living space, an office, or recreational room. A generous rear courtyard offers scope for parking or private use, and the outbuildings – totalling around 1,127 sq ft – provide significant potential for conversion (subject to planning) into additional accommodation, holiday lets or extended workspace.
This is a highly versatile and characterful property with genuine potential to further develop both the business and residential aspects. Early viewing is recommended to fully appreciate the scope on offer.
