Kirkton, Glenelg, Kyle, IV40

McEwan Fraser Legal is delighted to present to the market Glenelg Village Shop and House. Built around 1720 and now a thriving, licensed convenience store and three-bedroom family home located in one of the Scottish Highlands most popular villages. The shop has recently undergone a full refurbishment and offers the new owner a profitable ‘turnkey’ investment opportunity. The business operates successfully all year round and enjoys a strong spring and summer trade thanks to the influx of tourists to the area during these months. Turnover has been in excess of £400,000 over the past few years generating a strong profit. The current trading hours are Monday to Saturday 9am-12.30pm / 2pm-5pm with the potential to extend the opening hours and increase turnover. The hours are managed by two full-time members of staff and seasonal staff when required. The shop currently offers a wide selection of essential groceries, chilled and frozen goods, fresh local produce, newspapers, bakery lines, soft and alcoholic drinks, tobacco, confectionery, household goods as well as luxurious gifting from local and Scottish suppliers. The shop accommodation comprises a spacious main shop floor/retail area with shelving, display units, fridges and freezers and vintage central display table. A lower retail shop floor area offers additional retail space for non food items as well as a desk area for customer collections and office space. In addition to the retail space there is a large stock room, staff WC and rear exit. The operation of the business runs smoothly thanks to the recently installed operating system (iZettle) and an additional till area which includes 2x iPads, 2x barcode scanners, 2x Bluetooth receipt printers and 2x card readers. The shop also has a linked fire alarm system and CCTV throughout. The owner’s accommodation is situated to the side of the shop and is set over two floors. The property has it’s own access both front and back. The accommodation comprises a welcoming vestibule leading into the spacious living room complete with brand new highly efficient wood burning stove. The living room then gives access into the spacious galley-style kitchen with ample floor and wall-mounted storage units.

Completing the ground floor accommodation is a handy utility / boot room area which provides an alternative entrance to the house and garden. The main hallway provides access to the stairs leading to the first floor, where you will find a family bathroom with underfloor heating and a separate toilet. Further upstairs accommodation consists of three double bedrooms plus a nursery/dressing room leading from one of the front bedrooms.
