This freehold off-licence occupies a prominent corner plot in Sheldon and includes a large five-bedroom house above — a rare mixed-use opportunity for an investor or owner-operator. The business has traded for decades, produces regular weekly turnover, and is offered with fixtures, fittings and equipment included, reducing immediate start-up costs. Security features include electric roller shutters, a Redcare alarm and a six-camera CCTV system.
Previous planning permission to extend has been granted for the corner site, creating clear scope to increase retail floor area and add convenience lines to grow turnover. Off-street parking for multiple vehicles and a side garden/yard add flexibility for residential use or delivery access. The surrounding area is a comfortable, multi-ethnic suburb with good transport links, schools rated Good, and steady local footfall from nearby parades.
Buyers should note the existing retail sales area is compact with a relatively low ceiling and limited current sales footprint — expansion will require following through on the prior planning or undertaking refurbishment. This is a genuine retirement sale and suits a purchaser prepared to run the business, expand the shop, or let the property as an investment. Essential environmental features (gas central heating, UPVC glazing) are in place, but prospective buyers should survey to confirm condition and conversion costs before committing.
