Public House In Cumbria For Sale

Business description

Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this very well established public house that has been in our client's hands for the past 9 years and is only now being placed on the market due to a change of direction. During the period our clients have owned the business it has been completely refurbished to a very high standard. Currently, the average weekly turnover is in the region of £2,200, achieving a gross profit of 54%. The business is very much run at a pace to suit and a new owner could greatly increase turnover with the introduction of daytime openings and by taking full advantage of the numerous caravan sites and bed and breakfast accommodation within the area. The property was originally built in the 1635 and has traded as a pub since 1835. The pub boast many period features, such as thick stone walls, beams made from ship timbers and many others. This business can only truly be appreciated through internal viewing. The Masons Arms benefits from a stunning location, making this is an ideal life style business that offers a new owner infinite scope to develop for the future. Early discussions with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
