Public House In Cumbria For Sale

Business description

Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this old established public house, which was built in 1725 and has been in our clients' careful hands since 2004. The pub is only now being offered for sale due to family commitments. The pub has an annual turnover in the region of £110,000 derived from the sale of alcohol, restaurant meals and a small campsite to the rear. There is scope to increase turnover further by developing the camping side of the business as The Bulls Head Inn offers the only pitches in the village. There is also scope for all day opening and possibly to develop letting rooms. The business benefits from being free of tie and boasts 4-bedroom owners' accommodation. We feel this represents an ideal lifestyle change opportunity for anyone looking for a business of this type with huge future potential. Early discussions with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
