Summary

A SUBSTANTIAL INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY, INCLUDING EXPANSIVE RESIDENTIAL ACCOMMODATION AND SUCCESSFUL ONGOING BUSINESS.

An exciting opportunity to purchase a versatile commercial and residential property, with a successful ongoing business and being sure to appeal to both buy-to-let investors and business owners alike. The freehold property consists of a village shop/post office, three bedroom family home and spacious apartment.

After purchasing the property, the current owners have developed the post office, with it now achieving a very healthy monthly turnover. The property could generate three separate revenue streams as the two homes and business could be let, or it would also suit an owner occupier, wishing to take on a new challenge. Offering the scope to expand and develop the site subject to necessary consents, there is also the possibility to expand the business and add further revenue streams, making it an exciting opportunity for the right buyer.

The site is well positioned, offering high levels of passing trade and also local custom, whilst also making a lovely place to live. There are lovely countryside walks on the doorstep, whilst the property is also ideally placed for transport links, with road networks including the A1 and A19 available close by, plus Thirsk train station only being a short walk away.
