A rare freehold village-store and four-bedroom owners’ house on circa 0.5 acre, positioned on the busy A835 (NC500 route). The retail area (about 90m²) offers strong roadside trading with prominent signage, good parking for cars and motorhomes, refrigeration/freezer units and flexible shelving — a largely turnkey, walk-in business that benefits from steady local trade and seasonal tourist uplift.
The attached, modernised owners’ accommodation is a major asset: a well-presented 4-bed home over two floors with triple glazing, good natural light, decking, sizeable garden and large double garage. Internal interlinking access between shop and house supports a genuine live-work lifestyle and reduces running friction for an owner-operator.
Material points to note: the shop EPC is rated F and the house EPC D. The business currently trades seasonally stronger April–October and is run with part-time staff and owner input; there is scope to increase hours and staffing to lift profit. Full accounts and stock valuation are available only after viewing.
This is well-suited to a buyer seeking an established, profitable rural convenience business with immediate owner-occupation potential, or an investor wanting a lifestyle asset with clear expansion opportunities (extended opening, additional retail lines, or increased staffing).
