**Particulars**
We are delighted to be appointed to bring to the market this excellent
business and residential opportunity, set in a sought after area on the North
Norfolk coast. With scope to reconfigure the layout and accommodation
potentially creating additional units (subject to any consents that may be
required), this may well be of interest to developers, investors, as well as
owner operators.
Situated in the popular village of East Runton, approximately 1 mile to the
west of the busy seaside town of Cromer, the area is popular with holiday
makers and long - term residents alike. The property is a short walk from the
beach and enjoys sea views, making it an idyllic place to live whilst the
business benefits from having around 14 caravan parks in or bordering the
village, ensuring a constant flow of customers. Cromer and Sheringham high
schools both have been awarded a ‘Good’ rating from Ofsted, making this an
excellent village to raise a family.
A substantial property in a great location, which does not disappoint when you
step inside, and with so much to offer, means that interest is likely to be
strong in this one. Therefore, if you would like to view then please contact
us as soon as possible and we will be happy to arrange this for you.
**The business itself**
The current owner has been successfully running the business for the past 20+
years and in that time has developed and altered the store to move with
changing customer needs. Providing an extensive offering to the local
community, as well as the many visiting tourists and holiday makers, the store
stocks a wide range of products to meet the demands of all.
The business enjoys the benefit of being a member of the Nisa buying group, as
well as having an alcohol licence and a good staff team working alongside the
owner.
Given the size and layout of the property together with the large store to the
rear there are potentially options to further develop or change the internal
layouts to provide extra units for letting either on a commercial or
residential basis. This would have course be subject to any consents that may
be needed however it may well be of interest to prospective buyers who may be
looking at ways to increase the income or capital values that are achievable
for the site.
**Premises**
_all measurements are approximate and for guidance only. _
The store is well situated on the high street occupying a prominent in the
centre of the village. A wide glazed frontage makes it stand out and draws
customers into the main retail area which provides around 1, 500sqft of space.
It is fitted out with a range of shelving and typical displays stands in
addition to the fridge and freezer display units. There is a customer service
counter to the front with two Epos till points and a Lotto terminal.
To the rear on one side is a store room with office off whilst on the other
side of the store is the former Post Office counter room which is now
currently unused. Further behind here is the staff room with kitchenette and
there is also a toilet on the ground floor for staff use via the hallway to
the residential property.
The rear courtyard provides concrete hard standing giving a good storage area
for deliveries and is fenced and gated so as to be secure. Of particular
interest is the block and render outbuilding which measures approximately 9m x
5m and is currently used for storage. This may be suitable to develop into a
holiday let or a similar use subject to consent.

french doors leading out onto a nice sized balcony cum terrace with plenty of
room to sit and enjoy the views.
Moving up to the second floor onto a large landing there is a similar layout
