This long-established newsagents and convenience store occupies a prominent trading position in Halifax, adjacent to a busy primary school and about 500 metres from Calderdale College. The current daytime trading attracts steady footfall from students, parents and local residents, delivering a weekly turnover of approximately £4,500–£5,000.
The business offers clear upside for a hands-on purchaser: it currently trades daytime hours only, with obvious scope to extend opening times, introduce an alcohol licence and widen the product mix to boost takings. The premises include a walk-round ground-floor sales area, substantial lower-ground storage, a refurbished WC and an enclosed yard with one parking space.
Above the shop a self-contained three-bedroom flat (let on a 12-month AST) produces £500 pcm, providing an immediate secondary income stream. Stock is typically £10,000–£15,000. The property is available as leasehold or freehold, allowing buyers to choose their preferred investment structure.
Material considerations are straightforward: the area is classed as very deprived with above-average crime levels, and the sales area is described as dated with signs of damp — these issues may need investment and active management. The business suits an investor or owner-operator prepared to invest in refurbishment and to extend services to realise growth potential.
