Astra Antiques has been in the careful ownership of our client since 2004 and is only now being offered for sale due to his wish to retire. During this time he has extended and totally refurbished the premises to a high standard, offering a flexible space in which to trade. Astra Antiques is located on the old RAF base at Hemswell, the base has a number of other complementary antique businesses and attracts large numbers of customers, who provide all year round trade. The current impressive turnover is produced from renting space to regular and loyal traders, who offer a wide and varied product range, including furniture, clothing, ceramics and jewellery. Our client has recently introduced a reclamation department and is in the process of opening a 1940s themed cafe with 95 covers, both of which have been put in place to maximise on the Saturday and Sunday antique markets, that bring up to 2000 customers per day. The business also benefits from having a website at www.astra-antiques.co.uk. Early viewing of this unique antiques centre business is strongly recommended.
