It is located in the village of Brothertoft, which is about 4 miles northwest of the market town of Boston.

Property Details
Details
This multi-facet business is a family run concern with our clients, a successful husband and wife team running the business since 2011.
Revenue is derived from a well-stocked convenience store, petrol station with additional red diesel services, chandlery with a wide variety of products for passing boaters, pump out station and boat moorings.
We believe the business has huge scope for future development with a new owner in situ with enthusiasm and drive to take the business to the next level. Perhaps by extending opening hours or embarking on a modest marketing campaign to promote the assets of the business.
In addition, the business benefits from a 1 bedroom self-contained flat suitable for letting out to generate additional income.
The business is complete with superb 3-bedroom owner’s accommodation, ideal perhaps for a couple or small family looking for a life style change in this beautiful and desirable location.
