There has been a reduction in the asking price for Bellabeg Shop & Post Office, a longstanding licensed convenience store situated in Strathdon, Aberdeenshire, which is on the market through Christie & Co.
Occupying a large corner position within the village, the business has been heavily relied upon by locals for the last 130 years. The store has been owned and operated by current owners, Jamie and Denise Howse, for the last 11 years, winning the best Independent Spar Store in Scotland 2022. The couple now plans to relocate.
The store provides a wide range of mainstream groceries, BWS and convenience items, including bulk pet feeds. There is a detached store and a sizeable garden to the back of the property. A wing of the house was previously used as a B&B and is an opportunity for potential new owners to generate additional income.
Liam Bain, Business Agent at Christie & Co, who is handling the sale, commented: “Bellabeg house and shop offer a great opportunity to take on the local business, providing a key service to the community while also being able to enjoy the outstanding six-bed home and grounds. This could be a real lifestyle change for the right buyer to enjoy the beautiful surroundings.”
Bellabeg Shop is on the market at £599,500 for the freehold going concern.
