PARTICULARS
We are delighted to be appointed to bring to the market this excellent business and residential opportunity, set in a sought after area on the North Norfolk coast. With scope to reconfigure the layout and accommodation potentially creating additional units (subject to any consents that may be required), this may well be of interest to developers, investors, as well as owner operators.
Situated in the popular village of East Runton, approximately 1 mile to the west of the busy seaside town of Cromer, the area is popular with holiday makers and long-term residents alike. The property is a short walk from the beach and enjoys sea views, making it an idyllic place to live whilst the business benefits from having around 14 caravan parks in or bordering the village, ensuring a constant flow of customers. Cromer and Sheringham high schools both have been awarded a ‘Good’ rating from Ofsted, making this an excellent village to raise a family.
A substantial property in a great location, which does not disappoint when you step inside, and with so much to offer, means that interest is likely to be strong in this one. Therefore, if you would like to view then please contact us as soon as possible and we will be happy to arrange this for you.
THE BUSINESS ITSELF
The current owner has been successfully running the business for the past 20+ years and in that time has developed and altered the store to move with changing customer needs. Providing an extensive offering to the local community, as well as the many visiting tourists and holiday makers, the store stocks a wide range of products to meet the demands of all.
The business enjoys the benefit of being a member of the Nisa buying group, as well as having an alcohol licence and a good staff team working alongside the owner.
Given the size and layout of the property together with the large store to the rear there are potentially options to further develop or change the internal layouts to provide extra units for letting either on a commercial or residential basis. This would have course be subject to any consents that may be needed however it may well be of interest to prospective buyers who may be looking at ways to increase the income or capital values that are achievable for the site.
PREMISES

The store is well situated on the high street occupying a prominent in the centre of the village. A wide glazed frontage makes it stand out and draws customers into the main retail area which provides around 1,500sqft of space.
It is fitted out with a range of shelving and typical displays stands in addition to the fridge and freezer display units. There is a customer service counter to the front with two Epos till points and a Lotto terminal.
To the rear on one side is a store room with office off whilst on the other side of the store is the former Post Office counter room which is now currently unused. Further behind here is the staff room with kitchenette and there is also a toilet on the ground floor for staff use via the hallway to the residential property.
The rear courtyard provides concrete hard standing giving a good storage area for deliveries and is fenced and gated so as to be secure.
