The subjects occupy a prominent position within the attractive Argyllshire village of Kilmartin, located on the A816, Lochgilphead to Oban road route. 

Kilmartin is located approximately 8 miles North of Lochgilphead where the A816 links with the A83 Tarbet to Campbeltown road, which is a busy vehicular route, particularly during the peak summer months.

Situated on the West Coast of Scotland, Argyll and Bute is a popular tourist location benefiting from holidaymakers and daytrip visitors.  The local economy is also based on agriculture, fishing and forestry.

The subjects comprise a retail unit/post office with spacious three bed owner’s accommodation arranged within a two storey, stone built property that has been extended to the rear.

The retail unit is situated at ground floor level and comprises a sales area with two stores and WC off.  The house has a separate access to the side elevation although the entrance hallway can also be accessed from the rear of the shop.  The lounge leads through to an office area and thereafter the kitchen, which is fitted with a range of modern wall and base units.  Accessed via a hatch in the kitchen is an attic store.  Arranged at first floor level are three double bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Located to the rear of the house is a garage/outbuilding and garden.  The outbuilding and garden has planning permission in place for conversion to a dwelling house.  This element is available by way of separate negotiation if required.

The business operates as a licensed grocer/post office serving the local community of Kilmartin which our clients have owned for approximately 19 years, and now wish to retire.

Our clients operate the business with part time assistance and opening hours are currently as undernoted:-

Monday - Saturday  9.00 am – 1.30 pm and 2.30 pm – 5.30 pm

Through choice, in summer our client generally closes early on a Saturday, and in winter months the shop closes at 1.00 pm on Tuesday, Saturday and Sunday.

The post office salary is circa £6,000 per annum and financial documentation will be provided to interested parties after viewing.  Sales for the year ended 31 March 2007 were £134,721, net of VAT.
