Property description

Fully Licensed Freehold Restaurant
£499,950 to include freehold, goodwill and trade fixtures and fittings
(Option to take lease, subject to agreement)

A very well established licensed restaurant and bar, thoughtfully and discerningly furnished having over 60 covers in the intimate Snug areas and the Conservatory area, being in the same freehold ownership for the last 20 years and available only owning to retirement. The restaurant is highly noted for imaginative food and has an enviable reputation from both local and regional clientele.

The catering kitchen is of good size and intensively equipped and is capable of coping well with a 'full house.'

The domestic private accommodation is to a relaxing Victorian theme and well considered providing a comfortable home for the proprietors.

Externally the restaurant has an informal garden suitable for summer days and its own car park to the rear, which immediately adjoins a municipal car park and access is from both front and rear.

A highly recommended business and substantial premises worthy of early viewing.
