Property Features and Assets:
The operation has two outlets. It started business at a local covered market where it trades from one of a number of timber based cabin units that are located around the perimeter of the site. The unit is rented at a weekly cost of £135.00 and benefits from very significant passing footfall. People queue to seek advice and get quotations from the sales team. The cabin carries a range of stock and is equipped with a fully functioning log burner and fireplace.
Due to rising demand the owner has taken a six year lease on a superb bow fronted corner shop on the main high street in Wimborne. This unit could not be in a better position and is within a hundred meters of a new Waitrose supermarket. The annual rent is a modest £8,880 and five years remain on the present agreement.(2015).
The shop has sufficient room for around fifteen display units and these have been complemented by the recent addition of limestone and sand stone fireplace surrounds that are proving to be very popular. The shop also sells companion sets , bellows and fireside rugs.
