DESCRIPTION / BACKGROUND

A rare opportunity to purchase a highly profitable and well-established farm shop

situated in around 8 acres in a superb position on the edge of York City centre.

The site is situated in a strategically important location south of Huntington, between

York City centre and Monks Cross and offers potential development opportunities,

subject to consents.

The subject property currently comprises a well-known A1 retail premises trading as

Bradley’s Farm Shop. The current business was established approximately ten years

ago by the current vendor and the business and land is now for sale due to

retirement.

The trading business is highly profitable and is run on a very low-key, almost ‘cash and

carry’ style basis with low overheads and excellent profit margins. The business

currently sells fresh fruit, vegetables, flowers, plants, general food and drink products,

bird food/seeds, firewood and other allied products. A planning condition includes

that the A1 use shop should be a fruit and vegetable shop only and that the sale of

ancillary goods (i.e. such as plants, seeds, firewood) should not exceed 15% of the

total sales of goods from this unit.

Given the superb location of the business, which so close to a large population of

people and other retailers at Monks Cross, the site generates excellent passing trade

and generates a considerable annual turnover and high profit margin.

The property comprises the following:

GENERAL PUPROSE FARM SHOP BUILDING

24m (80ft) x 9.1m (30ft) . GEA = 222.96sq.m (2,400sq.ft)
