to sell AJ’s Plaice to focus on interests elsewhere and there is therefore potential for the buyer to further develop what is already an established and profitable hot food takeaway.

“Finished to a high standard throughout, with 100 per cent rates relief available to qualifying occupiers, we anticipate keen interest in this business opportunity.” The property is held on

a lease at a current passing rental of £13,000 PA. Premium offers over £30,000 are invited. Interested parties should contact the sole selling agents on telephone 01292 267987. DON'T
