Someone is about to buy a house and, in doing so, permanently close a chip shop. That’s the deal.
A four-bedroom detached home in Stannington, Sheffield is on the market for £270,000 – and attached to the ground floor is Nosh’s Chippy, a working fish and chip shop complete with a shop area and two preparation rooms.
One condition of sale: it stops trading on completion.
What you actually get
The property stretches across three floors and just over 1,850 square feet.
The ground floor has a modern open-plan kitchen and lounge with a large bay window, a separate reception room with garden access, and, yes, a fully equipped chippy.
Up one floor: three bedrooms and a family bathroom.
The top floor is given over entirely to a master bedroom with en-suite shower room.
Outside, there’s a private back garden and off-road parking.
Purple Bricks, who are handling the sale, describe it as a rare find with huge potential. That feels like underselling it.
The catch
The chip shop closes with the sale. Whatever Nosh’s Chippy has meant to the street – and in South Yorkshire, a local chippy means something – it ends when the keys change hands.
What the new owner does with two preparation rooms and a shop front after that is, technically, up to them.
Why it matters
It probably doesn’t matter, in the grand scheme of things.
But as property prices continue to push buyers toward unusual compromises, the commercial-residential hybrid is becoming a more serious option for people who want space and can’t stretch to a straightforward family home at this square footage in a major city.
£270,000 for 1,850 square feet in Sheffield is, by current standards, a reasonable deal. The chips are not included.
