Hillside Stores & Tea Room is a well-established village convenience store and tea room situated in the desirable village of Whitwell, near Worksop. Run by the same family since December 2021, the business has built a loyal local following, with online reviews consistently praising the freshly cooked food and the warmth of the welcome.
The convenience store stocks everyday groceries, beer, wines and spirits, and vapes, alongside services including Lotto, Paypoint, Collect+, Amazon, eBay and DHL. The adjoining tea room serves breakfasts, light lunches and afternoon teas to both eat-in and takeaway customers, with growing demand for buffets, children's parties and small celebration catering - an area the current owners have only just begun to develop.
The premises extend to 1,093 sq ft of commercial space, including a large storeroom with roller shutter access that offers genuine scope for reconfiguration - whether as additional retail space, a dining area, or an alternative use such as a salon, subject to planning. The business also benefits from an exceptionally low effective occupational cost, with the lease covering both the commercial premises and a three-bedroom flat for a combined rent of only £13,020 per annum.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a genuinely affordable village business with a comfortable home above.
