Established community newsagent with four-bedroom flat and growth potential.
Freehold newsagent and convenience store in central Helston
An established freehold newsagent and convenience store positioned on a prominent corner in Helston town centre. The business has traded for over 60 years, currently owner-operated with two part-time staff, and includes fixtures and fittings. Ground-floor retail spans two sales areas with storage, office and basic equipment; there is scope to add new services and extend opening hours to increase turnover.
Above the shop is a self-contained four-bedroom residential flat with lounge/diner, kitchen, conservatory and small walled garden with two sheds — useful for an owner-operator or as separate rental income. The property is early 20th-century character with standard ceiling heights inside; EPC rating C and no flood risk.
This sale is a retirement sale offered as a freehold business-plus-property. Strengths are the established local customer base, prominent location and included equipment. Notable considerations: the shop interior is compact with low ceiling areas, the business currently has modest net turnover and would benefit from active marketing or service expansion; some parts of the property will need updating or refurbishment over time.
For a first-time buyer or investor this presents a hands-on opportunity to run a community convenience store while living above or generating rental income. Early viewing is sensible to assess refurbishment scope and how to grow the business, such as reintroducing newspaper deliveries or adding an off-licence.
