A CHIPPY that was ravaged by fire is up for sale with the owners heading into retirement.

Suffolk Street Chippy in Barrow ceased trading in 2014 after the premises was hit by a fire.

The property, which includes a retail space and living accommodation, is now on the market for £125,000.

Fire engines were called out to the chip shop in February 2014.

The shop has been in the hands of the current owners for nearly 40 years.

It has retained the fish and chips signage despite being closed for six years.

Pictures now show renovations to the inside following smoke damage to the building.

A listing for the chip shop by Meridian Business Sales said: "Our clients are reluctantly offering the business to the market due to a desire to take well deserved retirement.

"Since our clients took ownership of the property they successfully ran a fish & chip shop for many years, which sadly ended in 2014 due to an unfortunate fire.

"Since then our clients have undertaken a full programme of refurbishment meaning that the premises are in full walk in condition, and have gone to considerable expense and effort on the property's presentation which has resulted in a very inviting facility.

"The premises occupies a ground floor shop/retail area which is suitable for many uses making this a multifaceted business opportunity, it also has a two-bedroom flat above, giving the new owner an option to rent out at generating an additional income or conveniently use this as owners accommodation.

"This is a beautiful property with a prime location situated in arguably one of the UK's most desirable seaside resorts.

"We would like to urge very early interest in this opportunity as properties of this calibre rarely appear onto the market."
