The present owners run the business as a husband and wife team and therefore don‘t need to employ staff and the associated costs. They have also got approximately 2.5 years remaining of a 4 year fixed price energy contract with British Gas registered in the business name and which we understand will be transferable to a new owner.
Owner‘s Insight: A rare opportunity has arisen to purchase one of Torquays longest established fish and chips shops with the property being built in the 1930‘s, it boasts only having five owners. The current owners are now in their 20th year and feel it is time to move on. In the 1930‘s the area of Chelston was owned by the Manor of Cockington (1.5 miles away) and the local public house/hotel with it‘s neighbouring parade of shops including the fish and chip shop were put in to serve the workers of the Cockington Estate. The land between was slowly developed for residential housing. This underlines as to why this particular establishment holds such a strong success story. 95% of it‘s customers come back week in, week out and many are known by name. It‘s current owners are proud to be part of the local community and will be sad to leave. The shop itself sits on a main artery through the estate with parking directly boasts a full refit approximately five years ago that included a brand new high efficiency 3 pan Henry Nuttal range and extraction. The owners gave much thought and consideration to the recent Covid pandemic and have been highly praised for their efforts.
The good sized 3 bedroom property with large living accommodation is spread over three floors with the top floor housing the family lounge with outlooks to the rear overlooking their well established garden and parking area, whilst to the front are the open spaces of Victoria Park with it‘s family play area. The Haywain Public House is situated closeby at the end of the terrace. Torquay sea front is approximately fifteen minutes walk away with it‘s well known Riviera lifestyle. Although the current owners have reduced their opening hours, this is only of their choosing and Greenies Fish and Chips has never exploited it‘s full potential.
This is truly an opportunity to purchase not only a business but a family home and the potential of a truly fantastic lifestyle. The current owners would also be willing to assist any potential purchasers with training and assistance where needed.

Description
A superb opportunity to acquire a lovely home with an income comprising a large 3 bedroom family house with a fish and chip shop business located in the Sherwell Valley area of Chelston. Ideal for a husband and wife team to run, the present owners have by choice limited the opening times to 10.5 hours frying time each week, however there is great scope to increase the opening times for business substantially should a new owner wish to do so. The present owners rely on personal callers to the shop, however there is scope to boost this with telephone/online orders and deliveries. The property is located in a densely populated residential area with local shops, schools and a public house closeby. The property has a large rear garden with the attraction of a hot tub. There is a large detached garage and parking area for several vehicles, this offers possible scope for development perhaps as an annexe, subject to obtaining any necessary consents.The present owners run the business as a husband and wife team and therefore don‘t need to employ staff and the associated costs. They have also got approximately 2.5 years remaining of a 4 year fixed price energy contract with British Gas registered in the business name and which we understand will be transferable to a new owner.
