A 'well-loved' fish and chip shop in the Lake District is on the market.

Ambleside Fish & Chips, a 'highly successful' chippy located in the area of Waterhead, Ambleside, has been put on the market by Colliers on behalf of a private client.

This business, available for offers of around £210,000 for the leasehold, presents a rare opportunity for prospective buyers to acquire a profitable enterprise in one of the most visited locations within the Lake District National Park.

Colliers says that the chippy enjoys a 'superb' trading position on a short parade of shops at Waterhead. Its location offers views over Lake Windermere and the Lakeland Fells, attracting thousands of potential customers daily, thanks to the proximity of Windermere Lake Cruises.
