Business description: OFFERS INVITED OVER 250K. OPEN DAY 14th AUGUST 3-4pm. OFFERS CONSIDERED ON THE DAY. Prominently situated, highly visible corner property facing down Mill Street which is one of the main pedestrianised areas in town. Just a stone's throw from the much visited Bideford Quay where cargo ships still call and MS Oldenburg ferries day-trippers to the Isle of Lundy. The pub has a main bar with two dining areas leading off - all fairly recently refurbished. Modern fully equipped kitchen, cellar, good customer toilets. Extensive owners'accommodation which could provide 2 S/C flats or some B&B. There is a huge opportunity to increase food sales which have been neglected in recent months.

Employees: 6
Trading hours: Mon-Thurs: 10am-Midnight; Fri-Sat: 10am-1am; Sun: 10am-Midnight
Property : Freehold
Living accomodation: 4 double bedrooms, lounge, kitchen, bathroom, shower room, separate WC, utility room/office, large roof void for development
Location: The pub is highly visible in Mill Street, probably the main shopping street of the town with interesting independent retail shops and restaurants.
Expansion potential: There is a superb opportunity for a versatile couple with catering skills to promote the food business especially as there is a constant stream of shoppers and tourists in season right on the doorstep. The accommodation comprises 4 double bedrooms, lounge, kitchen, bathroom, shower room, separate WC, utility room/office and a large roof void dor development (STPP). It has to be said that the accommodation is in need of refurbishment but could provide 2 self contained flats, owners flat plus B&B or become one large dedicated owners apartment.
Competition / Market: There are several pubs in the vicinity but the Heavitree Arms is probably commanding the best position and has excellent potential to expand trade.
Support & training: There could be some limited assistance offered once contracts have been exchanged
Reasons for selling: Local pub company disposal due to churning of the estate
Financing available? There are no accounts available as the business was tenanted for many years.
