Thriving Public House In Cumbria For Sale

Business description

Preferred Commercial is pleased to offer for sale this thriving public house, which was established in 1679 and has been in our client's careful hands since 2004. The business is only now offered to the market due to our client's wish to retire. The premises are well-equipped to suit the trade with a large lounge area complete with original feature stone fireplace, tables and chairs to suit, spacious bar area with 10 points of dispense and rear lounge with tables and chairs. The business has established an excellent reputation and enjoys a large, loyal customer base. The premises boasts 3-bedroom owner's accommodation with a lounge, office, bathroom and a commercial kitchen. Our client offers a wide range of beverages including wine, lager and cask ales. The business is run at a pace to suit our client and trades 7 days a week, which generates a turnover in the region of £170,000 per annum with a gross profit of 55%. We feel this could be further increased by establishing restaurant services and the new owner could, if desired, also convert two of the owners' bedrooms into letting rooms. This is an ideal opportunity to acquire an already thriving public house with 3-bedroom owner's accommodation and huge scope for future development. Early negotiations with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
