**Particulars**
emf are pleased to be appointed to bring to the market this long established
and well regarded high street butchers situated in the large busy village of
Sawston, approximately 7 miles south of Cambridge.

business for themselves or alternatively for someone already operating in the

make this a very attractive proposition, even more so when you add in the 4/5

For further details and to arrange a viewing please contact us at your
earliest convenience.
**The business itself**
The business has been in the family for many years and as such is now a
mainstay of the local community particularly given it’s ideal location on the
high street.
As well as the retail side, the business also enjoys a good level of catering
sales to local hotels, pubs, takeaway vans and similar. This gives the
business good diversification and there would appear to be scope to extend
this further if so wished.
The business benefits from a significant turnover with a profit margin to
match which has been enjoyed at a regular level for many years. The rent
currently being received from the apartment above further adds to this,
although a new owner may of course prefer to utilise the property for their
own personal use. There is also a refrigerated sign - written van included with
the sale to aid deliveries to the catering customers.
**Premises**
_all measurements are approximate and for guidance only. _
The shop is well positioned on the high street and offers a warm welcome
through it’s glazed frontage underneath a traditional red and white canopy.
Vehicular access is also provided to the side leading to the rear car park,
part of which is included in the lease and provides space for approximately 4
cars and bin storage.
There is a good size customer area to the front with a large refrigerated unit
providing lots of room to display all the various offerings available. A
further refrigerated open fronted display unit can also be found here for self
service as well as a number of wooden dressers displaying other products. To
the rear of the counter is the staff service area with a computerised scale
and till epos system with 3 screens plus a further in the back room, all of
which are linked. There are a range of s/s work surfaces complete with a
cheese slicer, cooked meat slicer, and cooked produce vacuum sealer. There is
also a large wooden chopping block, hand wash sink and a clingfilm heat wrap.
The shop benefits from non - slip vinyl flooring, tiled walls, a range of spot
lighting and air conditioning, as well as being alarmed.
Moving through to the rear part of the shop you will find the cutting and prep
rooms. To one side there is a stainless steel sink and drainer with separate
hand sink, a further wooden chopping block, sausage filler, burger press,
mincer and boiler. The other side is fitted out with stainless steel work
surfaces, wooden chopping block, meat hanger and hooks and a raw meat vacuum
sealer. Further still to the rear is an inner lobby from the rear door with
staff w. c, 2 walk - in fridges, one with a walk - in freezer inside, and then a
third walk - in fridge currently switched off and used as storage but
potentially able to be used again for it’s intended purpose if so wished.

Via an independent door to the rear an internal staircase leads up to the 4/5
bedroom apartment spread over 2 floors at first and second floor level with an
