Business description
This is a well established and respected bookshop situated in Glastonbury in Somerset. Our clients moved their book business into these premises approximately fifteen years ago. The bookshop has always specialised in Mind Body & Spirit books, however it has a wide range of other subject matter including – healing, green/eco, food/cooking, craft, childrens, gardening, fiction, Celtic, Arthurian and local interest. The current owners offer a customer ordering service for any available title. This is a service that not all booksellers offer and is a much-appreciated service by its loyal customers. In addition to books the shop sells specialist CDs and DVDs. At present the business does not have a web site although it does offer a mail order service. New owners would have the opportunity of increasing the turnover with the introduction of a web site and offering the mail order system through this very popular method of ordering merchandise. The asking price for the leasehold also includes accommodation in a separate flat above the shop, which can be let, producing additional income, or used as living accommodation by the owners

Property: Leasehold


Living accomodation
A one-bedroomed flat with lounge, bathroom, kitchen and double bedroom on the second floor.

Location

Next to the Abbey is a car and coach park where the local coach service to the famous Glastonbury Tor starts.
