About this property
A long-established village store and community Post Office at the heart of Medbourne, one of Leicestershire’s most desirable Welland Valley villages. The shop offers groceries, alcohol, newspapers, and a strong food-to-go trade with freshly baked cakes and filled rolls prepared on site. The Post Office operates under the Community model, providing a guaranteed base income and cementing the shop’s role as a cornerstone of village life.
The property is full of character, with beams, quarry-tiled floors, and a bright shopfront overlooking the shop's large garden. Included in the sale is ownership of the green itself – a unique feature that creates real potential for outdoor seating and café trade, particularly valuable since the closure of the local café 18 months ago.
Upstairs is currently used for storage, with a large room, kitchen and WC. This was historically a flat and could be reinstated to living accommodation or a rental unit subject to permissions. At the rear there is a courtyard, side gate access and a brick-built garage bay, making the premises practical as well as attractive.
The business is run by the full-time owner, supported by four part-time staff. Recent VAT returns show average gross weekly sales of £4,417.
Key Points
