Popular Public House In Denholm Roxburghshire For Sale

Business description

We are delighted to offer for sale this popular public house, which was established in the 19th century and which has been in our clients' careful hands since 1999. 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 £175,000 per annum with a gross profit of 50%. The pub benefits from being free of tie and has a wet/dry split of 53/47. We feel the turnover could be further increased by extending the hours food is offered. The Fox and Hounds Inn offers traditional home cooked food, along with real ales, fine wines and the letting of 3 guest bedrooms. The business has a loyal customer base and is well supported by the local community. There is a website in place advertising services and accommodation provided, which we feel could benefit from online booking facilities. The letting room accommodation is self-contained and can also be accessed from the pub. A new owner could, if desired, let out the letting accommodation as a residential property. The premises have been well-maintained and finished to a high standard throughout. There is spacious 1-bedroom owners' accommodation with lounge, bathroom and attic space, which could be used as a second bedroom. This is an ideal opportunity to acquire an already popular public house with huge scope for future growth. Early discussions with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
