This deal is being handled by Business Agent Tony Foster of Webbers Commercial who says "Having sold this business to the owners some 3 years ago they are now reluctantly selling due to ill health, but this is a really good lifestyle business in the heart of a warm & welcoming community" ...................We understand that a General Store has been trading from this site, according to the owners, since 1852 and therefore a long reputation has been built up. Our clients have, however, owned the property for only 3 years and are reluctantly selling due to ill health hence the genuine reason for the property being made available. Our clients enjoyed being part of the community and serving the customers on a one to one basis and an excellent rapport has been established.
The shop now operates under the Premier Store (Booker) and sells a host of their products. The business is run by a couple and part time staff. The shop opens 7 days a week 8am - 8pm in summer and on Sundays, in the winter, 9am - 8pm.
The shop is a traditional General Store, Off-Licence, Confectionary, Tobacconist; no newspapers are sold and the business is extremely popular with locals and tourists alike. The shop sells pasties, fruit, vegetables and a host of other general items. The turnover for the year 2010 shows £412,153.00 and for the year 2009 £427,000.00. A healthy profit has been achieved. Full audited accounts will be made available to those seriously interested parties who have inspected the property.
In a busy main road trading position the property is in the heart of the popular village of Kilkhampton (or Kilk as the locals call it) which sits astride the A39 tourist route, called the Atlantic Highway, connecting North Devon and Bideford in the East to Bude in the West.
Kilkhampton is a popular self-contained village which has a thriving community with a host of facilities including Post Office, 2 Pubs, Butchers, Fish & Chip Shop, Pizza Takeaway/Cafeteria and other retail shops.
The property is directly opposite the village Church and there is a free village car park only a few yards away and unrestricted parking in front of the main shop. The shop serves the local community as well as the farming hinterland and the many thousands of tourists who flock to the area throughout the season, indeed, near-by is the Penstow Holiday Park and the coastal resort of Bude and the beaches are within approximately 3.5 miles. Other near-by villages include Morwenstow and Stratton.
This is a well presented ground floor General Store with this shop being entirely fitted out with quality counter and shop fittings. Also on the ground floor is a rear stock room and the private accommodation is approached from the rear of the shop through a rear staircase giving access to the first floor where there is a hallway/landing, L'shaped lounge, 2 private bedrooms, bathroom/wc and fitted kitchen. To the second floor there is a further private bedroom accessed from a spiral staircase from the L' shaped lounge.
The property is pavement fronting and there is a forecourt area for the display of bedding plants which are very popular during the spring and summer and to the rear access is gained to a single garage and beyond that a garden which is laid to lawn. It should be noted that access to the garden and garage is via a shared access to the side of the property.
