The freehold shop is currently let to a painting and decorating contractor on an informal lease. Duke Street also provides free roadside parking. The Post  Office has been established for many years and and has become available because of the planned retirement and ill health of the owner. The business has two tills with a PO salary of c. £36,000 as well as counter sales of cards, stationery, confectionery, cold drinks, toys and gifts, ice cream etc. The business benefits from spacious customer areas as well as an adjoining store room with huge unutilised potential for additional retail sales.
