Award winning chippy with three bedroom accommodation in Thirsk for Sale.

Ranked in the “UK’s Top 60” by National Fish and Chip Awards and voted “Best Fish and Chips in Thirsk” six years in a row, this much-loved local chippy attracts lots of trade from near and far. They have won Best Fish and Chip Shop in the Fry Magazine since 2017 (8 years running). This is a rare opportunity to acquire a valuable freehold property comprising of an outstanding and long-established ground floor Fish and Chip takeaway, plus privately accessed three-bedroomed, self-contained apartment. Sowerby is a village in North Yorkshire, immediately south of the neighbouring market town of Thirsk. Thirsk is a famous historical town, renowned for its racecourse and links to the All Creatures Great and Small author James Herriot. Sowerby village boundaries are rapidly expanding with a number of new-build residential developments in build and in planning. With this expanding catchment area, Land and Sea Fish and Chips can look forward to ever increasing sales takings. Performing tremendously well on just 22.5 frying hours per week over five days and yet averaging between £6,500 and £7,500 in takings per week. The business does not take advantage of social media or any of the recognised online ordering and delivery sites, leaving a huge opportunity for new owners to take the business to a different level.
Substantial, purpose-built commercial retail unit on ground floor, with privately accessible first floor residence. Purpose built, brick construction, utility and storage building to the rear. Attractive shopfront with entry leading to a spacious customer service area, fronted by a high capacity 3-pan fry range. The operational areas are outstanding, spacious and superbly equipped with recent additions of large volume rumbler, chipper and oil filtering system. Excellent back of house areas including a fitted kitchen with oven and hob and lots of food prep countertop space and refrigeration. Separate, spacious wet prep room and potato store. A block paved rear yard leads across to a brick-built outbuilding incorporating storage of dry and chilled goods. Staff WC. Block paved driveway and external steel staircase leads to the private apartment, currently let on a shorthold tenancy producing £730 per calendar month, although realistic market rent suggests this should be increased to circa £850 - £900 per calendar month. Alternatively, the apartment can be taken back for the new owner’s personal use.
