Hilton Smythe is delighted to introduce to the market Judith's Bakery Limited. This highly successful business was originally founded by our client over twenty five years ago and has an enviable reputation for its high quality produce and benefits from much repeat trade. The Bakery is very well equipped and benefits from a popular shop to the front selling the wide range of produce including a fantastic variety of breads, rolls, cakes, hot and cold pies and savouries, hot breakfast rolls, pizza and quiche. There is also a delicious range of cakes and sweets. The business is also well known for its hand crafted celebration cakes. The business produces a fantastic turnover and included in the sale are three delivery vans. Two of which are used for regular sandwich orders to businesses within a 20 mile radius. The other is used for wholesale deliveries and collections. Additional revenue is generated from a well maintained flat situated above the business, currently yielding £400 a week, but could be used as owner's accommodation if required. We are advised a leasehold option is available at £49,999 + SAV, rent and lease terms are to be negotiated, with the flat above the bakery is to be rented separately. This is a fantastic opportunity to purchase this long established profitable concern which genuinely comes to the market as our client looks towards a well-deserved retirement.
