Stogumber is a picturesque but thriving village set in a valley between the Quantock and Brendon Hills in West Somerset. With a population of approximately 600 this is a thriving village community.
It lies about 2 miles from the A358, down narrow winding country lanes and is within a short drive of Williton and the coast at Watchet in West Somerset. The shop is two doors down from the village pub and directly opposite the church of St. Mary.
The West Somerset Railway took over the old railway line and station and the Station at Stogumber was reopened in 1978, from the station at Stogumber visitors can travel to Minehead and to Bishops Lydeard.
THE PROPERTY
A surprisingly spacious Grade II Listed terraced cottage very much like the Tardis as the property is very deep with spacious rooms. To the rear of the property is a walled garden with two patio areas as well as a store room.
The shop offers around 490 sq ft of retail space and there are two stock rooms in all around 300 sq ft as well as a freezer room and staff cloakroom. The owner’s accommodation starts on the ground floor with a fully fitted kitchen and dining room.
To the first floor there are 4 bedrooms as well as a lounge, further dining room and bathroom WC.
The property is being sold as a going concern, however as an alternative the shop could be utilised for other retail uses or there is potential to convert the building to residential use, subject to any necessary planning permission.
THE BUSINESS
Genuine retirement after 15 years in the same ownership of this popular general store/newsagents/tobacconist/confectionary and Post Office.
Current opening hours are: Monday to Friday 8 am to 1 pm Saturday 8am to 1pm and Sunday 8am to 12 pm. Hours to suit out of choice but with scope to expand.

This is a great lifestyle opportunity that is worthy of an internal viewing.

Broadband availability and predicted speed
Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:
Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s
The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). 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
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
