Business Information

The shop is situated in the heart of an affluent and very attractive village in East Sussex, with unrestricted car parking directly outside and no immediate competition in the local area. This well-established business has great support from the local village population, and is currently run by two full-time owners with assistance from one part-time employee.

Together with the post office facilities, the shop sells an extensive range of items including newspapers & magazines, alcoholic & soft drinks, cigarettes & tobacco, sweets, snacks, greetings cards, gift wrap, fruit & vegetables, bakery products, frozen foods and ice cream and a wide selection of household & convenience goods.

With many discerning customers, there are plenty of locally sourced products and premium brands generating a good profit margin. Accounts for the year ended July 2018 show annual sales of £297,648 and post office commission of £7,355. Clearly, this is already a thriving business but there is still potential to increase takings, perhaps by extending the opening hours or by introducing a local delivery service.

The spacious shop has great character and is very well equipped for the trade, and there are also ample storage facilities. The self-contained two-bedroom living accommodation is of a high standard and has central heating throughout. There is an additional storage unit to the side of the property and, to the rear is a convenient car park along with some beautiful open countryside.

This is an outstanding lifestyle opportunity, maybe for a couple or a family who could earn a very good income from the shop whilst enjoying the benefits of living in a highly desirable village location.
