A substantial freehold opportunity in the attractive Lincolnshire village of Tetney, combining an established fish and chip takeaway, well-appointed three-bedroom residential accommodation and a development plot benefiting from planning permission for an additional four-bedroom dwelling.
Recently reduced by £30,000, with the vendor prepared to consider sensible offers from genuine purchasers.
AJ's Takeaway occupies a prominent corner position on Market Place and has a trading history at the location reportedly extending back more than 50 years. The business was recognised as "Highly Recommended" in the English Fish & Chip Awards 2026 (Lincolnshire category).
The vendor advises that over £200,000 has been invested in specialist catering equipment and improvements since 2021, creating a commercial kitchen with considerably more capacity than is currently being utilised.
Established Business - Just 24 Hours' Weekly Trading
The business now operates for approximately 24 hours per week, following a reduction in opening hours and staffing requirements.
Day-to-day operations are principally undertaken by the vendor and one other member of staff, with additional assistance when required.
Historical EPOS records covering October 2025 to June 2026 indicate average weekly turnover of approximately £2,250. The vendor has previously estimated weekly net profit of approximately £1,000 before tax, although this remains unverified and does not necessarily reflect the latest operating arrangements.
The limited trading hours offer considerable scope for an incoming operator to increase trading days, extend opening hours and develop additional sales.
Commercial Kitchen with Proven Expansion Potential
The premises feature a high-specification commercial kitchen, incorporating a bespoke wood and gas-fired pizza oven, kebab machine, chargrill, commercial coffee machine, substantial extraction and refrigeration equipment.
The vendor previously trialled pizzas, kebabs and burgers, reporting an increase in turnover and demonstrating demand for a wider hot food offering.
These additional products were subsequently withdrawn due to staffing difficulties, rather than lack of customer demand.
The specialist equipment remains in place, offering an incoming operator the opportunity to reintroduce and develop these food offerings.
The business currently operates on a collection-only basis, with no established online ordering or delivery service.
Three-Bedroom Residential Accommodation
Adjoining the takeaway is "Ye Olde Poste", a spacious three-bedroom residential property with separate private access.
The accommodation includes a fitted kitchen, dining room, living room, three bedrooms and family bathroom, together with a private rear garden.
The vendor reports that improvements have been undertaken, including upgraded insulation, heating arrangements and internal redecoration.
The accommodation will be sold with vacant possession upon completion.
Residential Development Opportunity
The rear garden benefits from planning permission granted in June 2023 for an additional four-bedroom detached dwelling.
The vendor advises that the necessary drainage diversion works have been completed and that foundations have been commenced, but not completed.
The vendor further advises that a Certificate of Lawfulness has been obtained in connection with the commencement of the development, which he understands confirms that the planning permission has been lawfully implemented.
A copy of the certificate and relevant planning documentation can be made available to prospective purchasers.
Desirable Village Location
Tetney is a well-regarded Lincolnshire village, approximately six miles from Grimsby and Cleethorpes.
The property occupies a prominent corner position on Market Place, close to local amenities including a public house, primary school, church, golf club and village hall.
The surrounding countryside, coastline and nearby Lincolnshire Wolds add to the appeal of the location for purchasers seeking a business alongside residential accommodation.
Genuine Freehold Sale
The vendor is seeking to dispose of the freehold property and business together, including the residential accommodation and development land.
The sale offers a combination of established trade, substantial catering equipment, residential accommodation and property development potential.
The vendor is prepared to consider reasonable offers from serious purchasers.
