Business description

HIGHLIGHTS:
• Grade 2 Listed property comprising 2 separate freeholds
• Prominent Corner position
• Property 1 comprising shop with ancillary accommodation above (£160,000)
• Property 2 comprising 2 shops with 3 bed flat over (£155,000)

BUSINESS:
The property comprises a Grade 2 Listed corner block currently arranged as 3 ground floor shops with courtyard to the rear. On the second and third floors there is a combination of offices and 3 bed accommodation.

There are two freehold titles and the vendors are willing to sell them together or separately and with or without the trading business.

Established in 1996, this lifestyle business entails the manufacture of handmade plasterware (cornice, ceiling roses etc) which are retailed from the premises via well presented, fully fitted showroom. To the rear of the premises is a charming stone walled courtyard used to retail an unusual selection of stoneware plaques, statuary and garden led gifts. This leads to Artichoke, a pretty stone floored shop selling gifts and unusual homewares.

The business has traded successfully for thirteen years and has an excellent reputation throughout the South West for both its quality products and customer service. As a destination shop, Plasterworks has a wide customer base and attracts people who are:
• renovating existing homes
• building new,
• looking for an item to dress the home and garden or
• Wanting an unusual gift for a friend.

There is the potential for a new owner to expand the plasterware side of the business through more trade work should they wish to do so.

This is an interesting and unusual business with lots of variety in the day to day running, a healthy profit margin and pleasant lifestyle for an owner occupier as Taunton is an attractive, expanding market town with great leisure facilities and excellent road and rail links.
