The Harbour Shop, Mallaig, Inverness-Shire, PH41 4PU

DESIRABLE END-TERRACE SHOP UNIT WITH HARBOUR VIEWS

Occupying a prime position, in the centre of the desirable village of Mallaig, with views across the harbour, the subjects of sale form a desirable end-terrace shop. This very successful business has been run by the owner for the last 23 years and the sale is due to retirement. Offering fantastic space of around 68 square metres, conveniently arranged over two levels, the space comprises the main shop area, adjoining corridor with cloakroom, and two stock/storage areas. The Harbour Shop is licensed and sells a selection of convenience items including soft drinks, snacks, confectionery, grocery goods, hot take-away food and drinks, a large selection of alcohol and tobacco items, and their best selling, premium soft-serve ice cream cones. The owner also has a fireworks licence for the shop. Benefiting from mixed glazing and air conditioning, the property is in very good order throughout, and includes all shelving, chillers, freezers, Taylor Crown soft-serve ice cream machine, Flavor Blast machine, coffee machine, hot food unit, slush drinks machine and cash register as seen. Please note, whilst the equipment is in very good working order, no guarantees will be given. An independent stock take will be arranged at the point of a formal offer being accepted and this will form part of said offer.

Mallaig is a popular west coast village, situated at the end of the "Road to the Isles" from Fort William to Mallaig. With its coastal  situation, it is an ideal  location from which to explore this extremely attractive part of the Highlands. Ferries operated by Caledonian MacBrayne and Western Isles Cruises sail from the port to Armadale on the Isle of Skye, Inverie in Knoydart, and the Isles of Rùm, Eigg, Muck, and Canna. The village itself has hotels, restaurants, shops, superb bakery, gallery, primary and secondary schools, while further facilities are available in Fort William, to which there is a link by both road and rail, including the Jacobite Steam Train.
