Preston Laundrette ideally located just off the main Paignton Esplanade and within a short walking distance of local amenities, including sea front, harbour and town centre. The property is situated in a sought-after part of Paignton, part of the English Riviera which is made up of three main towns: Paignton, Brixham and Torquay. It is centrally located on the level with beautiful flat sandy beaches nearby. The property is within a short driving distance of Brixham and Torquay or it's easy to catch public transport if you don’t want to drive. Nearby is the main train and bus station and easy access to main motorways linking all parts of the UK.
The business has been successfully owner operated for over 25 years and offering self-service, serviced washing, contract washing, dry cleaning and much more. The machinery is top of the range quality Electrolux, which means reliability.
