Family run Multi Faceted Business In Idyllic Location

Business

Hilton Smythe is delighted to introduce to the market Langrick Bridge Stores. This multi-facet business is a family run concern with our clients, a successful husband and wife team running the business since 2011.

Revenue is derived from a well-stocked convenience store, petrol station with additional red diesel services, chandlery with a wide variety of products for passing boaters, pump out station and boat moorings.

The business reports turnover at circa £167,000 with a gross profit at around 25% for this financial year, with ill health reluctantly forcing the sale. We believe the business has huge scope for future development with a new owner in situ with enthusiasm and drive to take the business to the next level. Perhaps by extending opening hours or embarking on a modest marketing campaign to promote the assets of the business.

In addition, the business benefits from a 1 bedroom self-contained flat suitable for letting out to generate additional income.

The business is complete with superb 3-bedroom owner’s accommodation, ideal perhaps for a couple or small family looking for a life style change in this beautiful and desirable location.
