The business occupies a substantial site of approximately 0.4 acres (0.16 hectares) with a freehold property currently comprising an MOT Bay; vehicle workshops with four, full size ramps, a separate storeroom/showroom; retail shop; office/rest room; secure store; two toilet areas. There is adequate space on site to upgrade the MOT facility to include up to Class 7 testing, subject to the necessary permissions.



The forecourt area has four fuel pumps on a central island and a separate, red diesel pump. The underground tanks comprise an 18,000L petrol tank, a 9,000L diesel tank and two 4,000L red diesel tanks.



There is a linked, three bedroom house which is currently configured as a two bedroom flat (with a potential rental income of £450.00 per calendar month) and two ground floor storage rooms which are utilised by the business.



The large forecourt, secure rear compound and space at the side of the building all provide a substantial amount of parking space.



The site would suit a range of commercial uses (subject to statutory consents).



BUSINESS

Highley Garage is a well-established, owner managed business which has established an enviable reputation in the local and surrounding areas. It benefits from a loyal client base which is continually increasing due to referrals and recommendations. It is offered for sale due to the imminent retirement of the existing owners.



There are three main income streams:



FUEL SALES encompassing unleaded petrol, road diesel, red diesel and kerosene

VEHICLE WORKSHOPS offering MOT testing, electronic diagnostics, mechanical repairs and servicing, minor body repairs and tyre fitting/repairs

RETAIL SHOP selling car accessories, hardware and gardening products, winter fuels, bottled gas, etc.



There is major scope to grow the business through longer opening hours, the introduction of a website, increasing used vehicle sales and expansion of the retail shop.



Current trading hours are 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday and 9am to 1pm on Saturday.



There is also true potential for a mini-supermarket or housing development.

The village has a train station, post office, leisure centre and Co-op and Londis stores as well as several fast-food, take-way businesses. Continued expansion is taking place through new housing developments either in progress or at the planning stage.
