THE BUSINESS:

The business is situated directly opposite the seafront in a very popular coastal village in Kent. The area is well known for its nature reserve and lakes. and its fine sandy beach which stretches for some two miles along the coastline. There are some excellent schools in the local area. and transport links are very good with easy access to the motorway network and the channel tunnel is just a short distance away.

The eye-catching property faces onto the main seafront road and benefits from having its own dedicated parking area to the front of the shop. The L-shaped retail area is very well-equipped for the trade and includes a 2-position post office counter. The living accommodation is of a high standard and includes three bedrooms (plus an optional fourth bedroom). a superb lounge/dining room. a spacious kitchen with fitted units leading to a conservatory and a rear patio garden with private garage. Both the bathroom and separate shower room have modern suites. the property is extensively double glazed and there is gas central heating throughout.

This is a well-established business which has been under the same ownership since 1997. and is currently run by the owners with assistance from two part-time staff. The shop sells newspapers. magazines. tobacco. stationery. cards. confectionery. ice cream. soft drinks. toys and a range of beach goods. Accounts for the year ended 31st August 2011 show Annual Takings of £128.171 plus a Post Office Salary of £24.899.

New owners will probably see great scope for increasing shop sales considering the good-sized retail area. and there could be excellent potential for developing the sale of freshly prepared snacks and drinks which might prove particularly popular during the busy summer months. The business is an outstanding lifestyle opportunity. perhaps for a couple or family who could achieve a very good income from the shop whilst enjoying the benefits of living in this desirable seaside location.
