Town Centre Public House In Historic Whitchurch Shropshire For Sale

Business description

Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this popular town centre public house, which was established in 1900 and which is only now being placed on the market due to our client's other business interests. At present the business is run by managers and is free of tie. The property was completely refurbished in by our clients in 2011, offering a true walk-in-and-trade opportunity. The business benefits from a 3-bedroom flat to the first floor, which is ideal as owners' accommodation. The business generates a healthy turnover derived from a wet/dry split of 80/20, which could be increased by embarking on a modest marketing campaign and extending the opening hours. We feel this is an ideal opportunity to acquire a town centre public house in such a delightful location and with scope for future growth. Early discussions with Preferred Commercial are highly recommended.
