POST OFFICE AND CONVENIENCE STORE in Sleaford for Sale.A rare opportunity to acquire a quaint village Post Office with accommodation. Located on the high street of this popular Lincolnshire village which acts as a hub of the community with good access to the surrounding towns. The business premises are situated on the ground floor a characterful Grade II listed building with versatile three to four bedrooms accommodation above. The business has been successfully operated by our clients for the last six years and are reluctantly selling to return overseas. We believe that the premises have been used as a Post Office and convenience store for many years prior. The Post Office remuneration is currently in the region of £60,000 with retail takings around £1,000 per week. The store sells a variety of items from cards and gifts through to deli produce. The Post Office also offers outreach services to the surrounding villages, giving the business a monopoly in the surrounding area. We understand that there is a demand and potential to convert the front retail area into a small tearoom / coffee shop to further grow the takings. This would make an ideal lifestyle business opportunity with great access to the surrounding countryside.
The property comprises of the ground floor business premises which is approx. 72 sq m (775 sq ft) which is in two sections with the front area used as the deli counter and serving area with displays for gifts and other items. The rear part offers the Post Office counter with a storeroom off and additional retail space currently displaying cards and stationery.

Situated on the first floor there is a dining kitchen with a utility room off, a recently refitted family shower room, living room, two double bedrooms (one of which was previously used as a dining room).
