THE price of a village shop, cafe, and deli has been slashed after it was put on the market in September.

In September, Lucy Gardner announced she would be selling Woods of Whitchurch after over a decade of ownership, putting the "thriving" business on the market with agents Christie & Co for £700,000.

In an updated listing, the agents, who described the sale as a "superb opportunity", have reduced the price to £675,000.

Announcing the news of the sale, Ms Gardner said it "wasn't any easy decision to make", but felt it was time to embark on the "next season of my life" after the death of both her parents.

The "tastefully presented" village shop sells hot and cold foods, a variety of alcohol and locally grown vegetables, along with a wide range of goods and produce.
