Only general stores and off-licence in village (monopoly position)
A rare village-centre shop and tearoom in the Yorkshire Dales with an established local trading history and monopoly position as the only general stores and off-licence in West Burton. The business produces a reported weekly turnover of around £2,000 and benefits from steady local custom plus visitor trade from walkers, cyclists and nearby holiday lets.
The premises are double-fronted onto the village green and combine a fitted retail sales area with a self-contained tearoom (currently seating six, previously doubled). The tearoom is underutilised and offers clear scope for additional income through expanding the menu, adding breakfasts in season, more marketing or reintroducing gift and craft sales. Stock on completion is modest at £2,000.
The property is leasehold, sits within the Yorkshire Dales National Park and occupies a mid-terrace building constructed before 1900 (stone walls assumed uninsulated). Heating is by electric storage heaters; glazing details are not defined. Broadband is slow and mobile signal average — practical limits for online ordering or digital promotions unless upgraded.
This is a hands-on opportunity best suited to an owner-operator or investor willing to refresh stock levels, develop the tearoom offer and make modest improvements (insulation, heating and digital connectivity) to unlock greater footfall and seasonal visitor spend. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the location and trading potential.
