Pretty Village Pub, Turnkey, Free Tie, National Trust, Oxfordshire For Sale

Pretty village pub, free of all tie, on a National Trust estate, offered as a fully turnkey opportunity to increase the food offer and events, zero business rates, low rent and everything in place to grow.
Great scope to increase revenue for committed and passionate tenants ready to take the pub forward to the next level. Everything is in place, from a lovely 1 bedroom accommodation recently fitted out to a high standard, to all the fixtures and fittings, staff, kitchen equipment and a large catchment area.
Situated in a beautiful and historic location, Coleshill, on the border of the Cotswolds, between several towns and close to all amenities this is a popular village pub. The building is owned by the National Trust, who are a caring and supportive landlord.
The current tenants are retiring but have developed the Radnor Arms to a point where it can continue to trade from day one. They have spent two years refurbishing the pub and installing the safety and compliance, the systems and security, the accommodation and establishing the garden. They received their 5 star food hygiene standard and a talented chef is in place.
The business is now for sale and on approval by the National Trust the 10 year lease will be assigned.
You truly just need to step in and continue to operate, with the assurance that all the hard work has already been done to establish the pub.
Turnover can be improved by opening more days and hours of the week, hosting events and marketing on social media etc. The current tenants have simply opened the doors to trade and there is ample scope for increasing turnover from this point on. It’s a fully built-up business with everything in place to grow further.
You will need a business plan with basic financials to present to the landlord and some general marketing ideas of how you would host events and build on the community spirit of the pub.
A sale document has been prepared with photos and detailed descriptions and is available on request to interested parties.
