Business description
This lovely organic food shop has become the magnet for all those seeking an alternative to the supermarket. Field Fayre was opened nearly 7 years ago and its owner believes passionately in providing a huge range of organic bread, fruit, vegetables, fresh and frozen meat, wine and spirits and much more so that local suppliers and shoppers benefit from truly low mileage food. You can get all you want and need in this lovely shop.

Both the shop and accommodation over have independent direct access to the delightful rear sun terrace and garden, something which certainly does not apply to all retail premises in the town. Positioned to the far end of this garden is a purpose constructed Bespoke Garden Room/Studio Office, complete with Category 5 computer cabling and power points, which is both well appointed and well insulated.

The current owners have carried out very significant refurbishment of the main structure during their time of ownership. These works include re-roofing, extensive structural and timber treatment work, re-wiring, heating and most recently, complete internal re-decoration. All in all, a most versatile and attractive property

Location
The Freehold premises which comprise 18/19/19A Broad Street, currently successfully trade as Field Fayre Organic Shop and lies on the west side of Broad Street, close to the central, stone built Market House in the bustling Market & Tourist town of Ross-on-Wye.

The town itself stands proud on an elevated promontory overlooking the famous Horseshoe Bend of the River Wye, and since the ‘Wye Tour’ which Willian Gilpin instigated in the 18th Century, tourists from far and wide have been visiting the area for the natural and romantic beauty, which in more recent times has been designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

From a communications point of view, Ross-on-Wye is exceptionally well placed, the M50 Motorway and A40 Dual Carriageway enabling first class communication to most parts of the country.

Expansion potential
There is huge potential in providing home made sandwiches and lunches for the busy lunchtime trade in the town centre using food from the shop. Additionally, providing a mail order or delivery service would doubtless be profiatble. There is a signwritten van with the business.

Support & training
The current owner of the business would assist a new owner with up to three months of hands on training. This would include ordering and training on the EPOS software which provides up to the minute sales data

Reasons for selling
After seven years, the owner would like to spend more time with her grandchildren and outdoor pursuits.
