Specialist business property adviser, Christie & Co has brought to the market a Costcutter branded convenience store, situated in the historic Kent village of Upchurch, close to Rainham and Sittingbourne.
The single storey, 866 sq ft lock up business is well laid out with a sales counter, display cabinets and shelving, plus a large stockroom, kitchen and office. Providing a range of products, including newspapers and magazines, chilled and frozen foods, alcohol and general household products, the store is well stocked to cater for a range of customer needs.

Located in a residential setting, the business sees trade from those in the local community alongside visitors from further afield passing through the popular Kent countryside.
