Public House With Letting Rooms In Oswestry Shropshire For Sale

Business description

Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this busy public house with letting rooms, which was established in 1900 and which has been in our clients' careful hands since 2000. The pub is only now offered to the market due to our clients' wish to retire. The business trades 7 days a week and generates a turnover in the region of £286,000 per annum with a gross profit of 54%. The Railway Inn is a traditional public house with 7 letting rooms and is also free of tie. We feel the turnover could be further increased by embarking on a modest marketing campaign and perhaps introduce a website advertising accommodation provided. The business has a loyal customer base and enjoys much repeat trade and word of mouth recommendations. There is the opportunity to establish community sports teams to generate more trade, such as a pool team. The premises are well-equipped to suit the trade with a large bar area. There is a commercial kitchen and a spacious lounge area, which we feel could be utilised to serve a lunch and evening menu. To the second floor is spacious 1-bedroom owners' accommodation with lounge, kitchen and bathroom. We feel this is an ideal lifestyle change opportunity to acquire an already busy pub in a prominent trading position. Early negotiations with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
