Prime South Essex location ready for expansion and higher turnover.
693 sq ft open-plan retail with large glazed frontage
A long-established homeware and upcycled furniture business occupying 693 sq ft on a busy South Essex parade. The sale includes display fittings and equipment; stock is available separately and is estimated at around £2,500. The current owner is selling due to ill health and seeks a quick sale, with a new lease likely to be offered (rent circa £12,000 pa).
The premises benefit from large glazed frontage, high ceilings and strong natural light that support attractive window displays and passing trade. The current operation achieves around £1,000 weekly turnover from shortened opening hours; a new, dynamic owner could expand opening times, introduce concessions or diversify product lines to drive higher revenues.
Practical considerations: the business is leasehold, trading in a deprived area with a higher local crime rate, and the asking price reflects the owner’s wish for a fast sale. The property layout is linear and open-plan with dedicated storage, a small staff kitchen and WC, suitable for immediate trading but with clear scope for reconfiguration and merchandising improvements.
This opportunity suits an investor or hands-on retail operator ready to invest time and stock to scale footfall into increased turnover. Be factual about local trading conditions and factor in lease negotiation, security measures and marketing to maximise potential.
