Business History
A very attractive, distinctive, profitable and easily operated business successfully run from this recently renovated and extended Grade II listed freehold property. The Post Office has been confirmed safe from closure by Post Office Ltd.
Located on the ground floor the Post Office 14ft x 12ft =168sqft is now the only Office in a large catchment area and has a two position Horizon system with separate security within the shop and offering the majority of Post Office services and products to the local community including MVL, Euros on Demand and Money Gram.
We are informed by the vendor that Post Office Ltd has recently fitted a new alarm system and will be refitting the Post Office in the near future, a PayPoint facility is also due to be installed shortly.
With a number of the surrounding Offices recently closing the remuneration of this particular Post Office will undoubtedly benefit with the increase in custom.
As well as the Post Office the vendors also operate a small successful 'Veggie Box' delivery service to the local and surrounding area for customers who enjoy local home grown produce.
The business is prominently located in the heart of a picturesque village 10 miles from Sleaford & Grantham in South Kesteven, Lincolnshire and occupies a High Street position in an affluent and popular Lincolnshire village with the main doctor's surgery to the surrounding villages next door and other complimentary shops close by. There is easy access to the A607, A17 and A1.
Built in approx 1650 from Ancaster stone the premises was originally two cottages which have now been made into one spacious 4 bedroom home with the Post Office accessed from the front and from the dining room via secure and alarmed doors.
The current vendors have spent a great deal of time and approx £60,000 renovating the building and living accommodation to its current high standard.
The 4 bedroom house, built from Ancaster stone, consists of double and secondary glazed windows, new oil fired central heating recently fitted, solid wood flooring throughout, a feature wood burner and fire place in the dining room and the lounge, plus an extensive kitchen extension built in 2004/5, plus a downstairs w.c.
