Situated in a prominent position on Vindomora Road, the store lies at the heart of Ebchester village, stocking and selling grocery items, local produce, craft ales, coffees, household essentials and newspapers. The store also offers parcel and payment services, and has outside seating for customers in the summer months.
The property contains a five-bedroom house with large garden, historically used as owners’ accommodation, creating an opportunity for a new owner to operate the store as a family-run lifestyle business. The store is also close to the local primary school, community centre, church, and holiday homes.
Ebchester Village Store’s owners commented: “We are excited to announce the sale of our convenience store and attached home in the beautiful village of Ebchester, located near the County Durham and Northumberland border. Over the past eight and a half years, we’ve been proud to serve our wonderful customers with a wide range of products including locally produced food and drink. The shop continues to thrive, thanks to the incredible support of our loyal customers and surrounding villages. Additionally, the attached home offers a lovely living space with a huge private garden and decking area in which to relax. If you’re looking to end the daily commute to work and want a change in lifestyle, this could be your answer. We look forward to the next chapter for both our business and home.”
Robert O’Brien, Senior Agent at Christie & Co who is managing the sale, said: “The current owners have worked hard over the last eight years to establish the store as the heart of the community, and the new owner will only reap the benefits of that. There is also planning for the further development of luxury residential properties close to the store, which in turn will bring extra trade from the construction team and then the residents. The store has benefited from an upturn in business, as well as no direct competition. We expect a high level of interest in this opportunity.”
The freehold store is on the market with an asking price of £750,000.
