Property description & features
- Long established business with excellent potential for growth and expansion
- Beautifully appointed prime premises with outside seating to the rear
- Fully equipped and stocked to operate immediately
- Only available due to the owner's retirement, a viewing is essential to appreciate the opportunity on offer.
Location: - The premises are well situated on Abbeydale Road South in a prominent and accessible location between Dore and Totley, which are considered two of the most desirable residential suburbs of the City of Sheffield.
Description: - The business trades from within deceptively spacious premises of some character, which are attractively appointed and have been fitted out to an excellent specification to provide a contemporary and welcoming gift shop to the frontage, stocking an excellent range of hand-picked gifts, clothing and homeware, together with a range of greetings cards.
Beyond the gift shop is a kitchen area and servery providing an excellent homemade offering with a range of delicious cakes & light lunches, together with a full range of hot and cold drinks.
To the rear is a comfortable conservatory seating area, with the current layout providing for approximately 24 covers inside with scope to increase this to around 30+ if desired, with an additional 16 - 20 covers in the delightfully tranquil garden to the rear which can be separately accessed providing an excellent option for dog walkers to call in for coffee and cake.
There is also a basement cellar which provides excellent additional storage space, and a secure outside store providing further storage facility.
Over the years the business has gained an enviable reputation currently with a 4.4 star rating on google, and a 4.8 star rating on Facebook - with an ever expanding and loyal customer base as well as many new customers. There is also an ideal opportunity to expand the current offering to include an evening menu, either on a full-time basis, or perhaps for special or themed events on a regular or semi-regular basis
Business: - The business has been trading under current ownership for 9 years, having been established circa 2004 being a long established and well-respected business within the locality. The business provides a rare opportunity being a business of two parts firstly a highly-regarded gift and homeware shop stocking a hand-selected range of quality stock, and secondly a café/ coffee shop serving a range of hand-made cakes and light bites together with a range of hot and cold drinks.
The shop stocks a range of high quality gifts including jewellery, a range of clothing and accessories for her and for him, home fragrance, clocks and wall art, tableware and homeware, a wide range of children's toys and gifts and an excellent range of greetings cards for all occasions.
This is offered alongside a highly respected café/ coffee shop which serves a good range of cakes, snacks and light lunches which works beautifully hand in hand with the gift shop offering.
A viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the opportunity on offer.
Whilst the business has been impacted by the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the current owners have adapted to the ever-changing conditions beautifully, and therefore the business is for sale providing a rare and exciting opportunity to acquire an already successful business with excellent potential for growth as desired, and which has performed very consistently over many years.
The business is run very efficiently by the current owner with minimal staffing, providing an excellent opportunity for growth.
The split between the shop and the café is fairly even at this moment in time.

Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
