 Miller Commercial of Truro are pleased to offer to the market Polruan Stores situated in Fore Street, Polruan, a character harbour village located on the eastern bank of the River Fowey and directly opposite the harbour resort of Fowey itself. The retail business is offered off a freehold guide price of £395,000 plus SAV.

The thriving convenience store has traded from the premises since the 1920’s and they now provide a ground floor sales area of 520sq.m. with a large first floor storage area. There is extensive and well presented private accommodation on the first and second floors, together with a fine master-bedroom created out of the loft space. The premises, which date back 200 years, benefit from a rear garden with views.

Polruan Stores is coming to the market for the first time in 4 years and trades strongly throughout the year. It is the principal retail outlet in the much sought after village and its’ geographical location makes competition from supermarkets a distant car journey. Sales for the year to February 2007 show at £373,532, with a G.P. of 20.9% and a reconstituted net profit of circa £48,000.

Graham Timmins of Miller Commercial’s Business Transfer Dept comments, ‘Polruan Stores is an ideal business for a couple wishing to escape the rat race pressures of city life and escape to running a profitable village shop in one of Cornwall’s most enviable coastal locations’.
