Hilton Smythe welcomes to the market Market Deeping Post Office. A convenience store and post office with 3 flats above that due to family circumstances is being sold.
Market Deeping Post Office is the local post office for Market Deeping and many surrounding villages which has a high footfall due to this. There are many opportunities for the new owner of the business to grow it exponentially as due to recent family circumstances our client has not pushed the convenience store element of the business to anywhere near its potential. There is also a large room to the rear that could be utilised as further storage or as a meeting room for hire.
