Long-Established Barrow Chip Shop and Adjoining Home Up for Sale
A well-established fish and chip shop in Barrow has been placed on the market alongside an adjoining three-bedroom home.
York Street Chippy, located in a residential area close to Oxford Street, is being offered as a freehold purchase for £155,000.
The sale includes the takeaway business, its fixtures and fittings and the attached end-terrace property at 36 York Street. This gives a potential buyer the chance to take over an existing local business while also owning a separate home or rental property.
Established Business With Regular Customers
According to the property listing, York Street Chippy has traded for some time and has built up an established customer base.
Its location within a busy residential part of Barrow provides passing trade, while nearby schools, public transport and other amenities may help attract further customers.
The takeaway is being sold fully equipped. The shop includes a frying range, serving counter and bain-marie, while the kitchen contains deep-fat fryers, a five-ring gas hob, fridge and microwave.
A separate storage and preparation area comes with a potato rumbler, chipper, freezers, washbasin and WC. It also provides access to both the rear lane and adjoining house.
Three-Bedroom House Included
The residential part of the sale is a three-bedroom end-terrace home. On the ground floor, it includes an entrance hall, lounge and kitchen with a breakfast bar.
There are three bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs. The home also benefits from double glazing and gas central heating.
The property is currently occupied by tenants and the listing states that it can be sold with the tenants remaining in place. This could provide the new owner with an existing source of rental income, although buyers would need to confirm the tenancy arrangements before completing a purchase.
What Are the Current Opening Hours?
York Street Chippy currently operates across four days each week:
- Wednesday and Thursday: 4.30pm to 7pm
- Friday: 11.30am to 1.15pm and 4pm to 7pm
- Saturday: 11.30am to 1.15pm
These limited hours may leave room for a new owner to expand the business by opening for longer, adding extra trading days or developing its takeaway and delivery services.
However, any changes would depend on demand, staffing and the plans of the eventual buyer.
A Business and Property Opportunity
The combined sale may appeal to someone looking to run their own fish and chip shop, as well as investors interested in owning both commercial and residential property.
Accounts for the business are available to serious buyers through a private appointment with the selling agent. Anyone interested would need to contact Ross Estate Agencies for further information or to arrange a viewing.
The property is currently advertised as a freehold opportunity at £155,000, although its availability and price could change as the sale progresses.
