- Business description
- Bookshop together with 4-bedroom house and 2-bedroom flat in Egremont, a West Cumbrian market town. Plenty of scope for expansion as we only open part-time hours at present. Stock at closure (including bookshelves/till) included in the price - approx 12,000 books, 500 CDs, greetings cards, postcards, maps etc. We won Copeland Council's "Independent Retailer of the Year Award 2006" - voted for by our customers (who bring bagfuls of books in - so they keep it well stocked!!). We also sell on Amazon and will download the list of stock for you at completion to upload on your own computer should you wish.

- Employees: None - easily run by one person
- Trading hours: Expandable - at the moment 20 hours per week.
- Property:Freehold
- Living accomodation:Four bedroomed house, with a separate two-bedroomed flat, which is ideal as a granny flat or can be let out at around £300 per month.
- Location:Side street just off busy Main Street. Market is held at top of street on Fridays. Plenty of passing custom, due to doctors, vets, butchers and 2 schools on same street.
- Expansion potential:The lady of the house runs the bookshop on a part-time basis (more as a hobby) at the moment due to family commitments. We also sell on the internet via Amazon. There is an opportunity to grow both schools and business-to-business sales. There are regeneration grants available for shop fronts/windows etc. which we can give details of. We are members of the local Business Network which is an inter-business group that help advertise each others businesses.
