The shops are located on the main thoroughfares of the 3 towns, which have benefitted from considerable economic regeneration and strong seasonal uplift over the last decade.

The outlets retail a good range of bedding, clothing and quality giftware products from well presented premises, which complement the stock range on offer. The shops are subject to leases, which are already in place, but the premises at Lostwithiel come with an option to acquire the freehold tenure, subject to separate negotiation. The Lostwithiel outlet benefits from separately accessed, living accommodation above, which offers 3 bedrooms.

The Romantic Englishwoman business has been established in Cornwall for 18 years and is now coming available because of semi-retirement plans. The business trades strongly with audited accounts for the year to January 2007 showing aggregate sales across the 3 shops of circa £371,000, generating a reconstituted net profit in the region of £77,000.

Graham Timmins of Miller Commercial’s Business Transfer Dept comments,

‘This is a fine business, which has been well developed by the owner over recent years. Additionally, it offers scope for further growth in turnover by the very recent creation of an on-line sales service. The shops are well placed in attractive locations and we anticipate keen interest from both within and outside the county’.
