SITUATION
This delightful business is situated in Glamis, a small village in Angus some 4 miles south of Kirriemuir and 5
miles south-west of Forfar. The village is best known as the location of Glamis Castle which was the childhood
home of Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother and through its mention in the William Shakespeare play Macbeth. The Castle is home to the Earl and Countess of Strathmore & Kinghorne and open to the public between early April and the end of October each year.
The business property is owned by the Glamis Castle Estate and is positioned in the centre of the village on
The Square and has plentiful free parking in the surrounding area.
THE PROPERTY
The business trades from an attractive white washed semi-detached property formed over two floors under a
pitched roof. The shop and post office are located towards the front of the property on the ground floor with
the tea room situated towards the rear. The shop is laid out in traditional style with the sales counter upon the
right hand side on entering with the one position post office counter alongside.
The tea room offers 18 covers in a separate room and has its own dedicated kitchen and customer w/c just
off.
LIVING ACCOMMODATION
There is a two bedroomed house that comes with the Glamis Post Office, Shop and Tea Rooms. Access can
be gained both from the shop and independently. This consists briefly of two bedrooms, lounge, kitchen,
bathroom and attractive garden.

THE BUSINESS
This is undoubtedly a lifestyle business, the chance to own and operate in one of the most popular areas
of Scotland. The post office is an integral part of the local community along with a shop whilst the tea
room is very popular during the months when nearby Glamis Castle is open to the public. Our clients currently only trade the tea room during these times taking advantage of the many tourists that flock to the
area at this time. The tea room offers a selection of soups, sandwiches, teas, coffees and cakes. There is
an opportunity to expand on this menu and possibly extend the opening hours.
Our clients have placed the business on the market having run it for 5 years as they are looking to relocate. The business is run by a husband and wife team with no additional staff. The new owner will be
subject to approval by the Glamis Castle Estate and subject to Post Office approval.
SERVICES
We are advised that all mains services are connected.
TENURE
The business is offered on a leasehold basis with a current rent payable of £10,320 per annum. A new
lease will be provided to the ingoing tenant subject to approval from the landlord.
TRADING FIGURES
