Barrow Fish And Chip Shop With Three Bedroom Home Put Up For Sale.
A long established fish and chip shop in Barrow in Furness is on the market together with an attached three bedroom home, offering potential buyers the opportunity to run a business while living next door.
The property is located on York Street, in a popular residential area just behind Oxford Street. It is being marketed as both a business opportunity and a residential property, making it an unusual option for someone looking to combine work and home ownership. The property is being offered for around £155,000, according to the latest listing, although prospective buyers are advised to confirm the current asking price and sale details with the agent.
The attached business is described as a well established chip shop with a long standing customer base and good footfall. The listing highlights the shop's reputation and presents it as a going concern, with fixtures and fittings included as part of the sale For anyone looking to enter the food business, the property already has a fully equipped fish and chip shop, meaning a new owner could potentially take over an established operation rather than starting from an empty commercial premises.
The shop includes a serving area with a fitted range, hot food display facilities and a serving counter. There is also a preparation area equipped with a stainless steel sink, gas hob, fridge and other equipment required for day to day operations.bAdditional space is available towards the rear of the commercial premises, including storage and preparation areas. The layout also provides internal access between the business premises and the residential accommodation.
The residential part of the property provides three bedrooms and one bathroom, along with a lounge, kitchen and dining area. The house also benefits from central heating and double glazing. The property has a freehold tenure, while the residential accommodation is currently rented and may be sold with tenants in situ, according to the current listing. Prospective purchasers would therefore need to discuss the existing tenancy arrangements with the selling agent before making a decision.
The combination of a trading business and residential property makes the listing particularly notable in the local property market. Rather than purchasing a shop separately and finding accommodation elsewhere, the buyer could potentially have both elements within the same property.
The commercial premises could also offer flexibility for a future owner. The estate agent's description notes that the property could potentially be suitable for other types of businesses, subject to any necessary permissions and approvals.
The location is another feature highlighted by the agent, with the property situated in a residential part of Barrow in Furness and close to local amenities, transport links and schools. The established customer base could also provide an advantage for someone wishing to continue operating the existing business.
For an aspiring business owner, the opportunity could provide a relatively unusual route into the takeaway sector, while investors may also be interested in the combination of commercial and residential accommodation.
However, potential buyers would need to consider the financial performance of the business, existing tenancy arrangements, running costs and any other legal or commercial requirements before proceeding. The property is now being marketed to prospective purchasers, with viewings recommended for anyone interested in seeing the business premises and residential accommodation in person.
The sale is likely to attract attention from both local buyers and entrepreneurs looking for an established food business in Barrow, particularly because the package offers the rare combination of a working fish and chip shop and a three bedroom home under the same ownership.
