FREEHOLD FORMER PUB WITH LUXURIOUS ACCOMMODATION in York for Sale.
A historic former coaching house in an affluent North Yorkshire town centre, extensively refurbished recently and currently operating as a fully licensed, daytime only cafe restaurant. The private accommodation has been beautifully refurbished and appointed to a very high standard, but could also be used to offer guest letting rooms to visiting tourists. We strongly recommend arranging a viewing appointment to fully appreciate the money, effort and attention to detail that has gone into this recent renovation. The property is very much priced to sell, as the owners wish to retire as soon as possible.
LOCATION - In the centre of a Georgian market town at the foot of the Howardian Hills and just twelve miles north of York. Bustling main street of shops, galleries, bars and eateries makes this a popular stop for visitors and tourists. A highly sought after, affluent residential district surrounds this historic market town.
THE PREMISES - Ground floor: Restaurant with bar, snug and two dining areas comfortably accommodating 70 diners, plus outside terrace at the back and pavement seating to the front. Comprehensively equipped catering kitchen with ample dry and chilled goods storage, staff lockers and WC, glass wash area and separate pot-wash room with deep sinks. The beer cellar is directly behind the bar for ease. Access to rear outside courtyard. Owners / staff parking spaces for three vehicles. First Floor: Landing leading to reception room, dining room and large, modern, high-spec fitted kitchen with central island. Pantry and utility room. House bathroom with shower above a roll-top bath. Exit door to external emergency staircase. Second Floor: Three double bedrooms, one single bedroom, second house bathroom with shower cubicle. Many of the windows in the property have been recently replaced with period style sash windows with double glazing. The entire property has mains gas fired central heating, in addition to the traditional wood burning fireplaces in the restaurant dining areas.
THE BUSINESS - Our clients relocated a cafe business they had in the town to the pub in 2020 and then, wishing to reside there, they began the extensive refurbishment. The cafe business is run on a low-key basis to suit the owners, mainly daytimes only, and yet still takes on average £3,500 per week. It is for health reasons alone that the owners now wish to move their retirement forward and sell the property.
