The Property
The property was purchased by our clients in 2018 and since this time have spent a lot of time and effort re vamping the business and reconfiguring the layout. The main part of the building was developed into a restaurant and bar with the existing 8 rms (5 e/s) were turned into 9 e/s letting rooms.
The property is of a stone construction, with an archway leading to the rear, split over ground and first floor under a pitched roof with extensive private car parking which is predominately monobloc. Internally and externally the property is very well presented with a prominent roadside location.
Internal Details
Lounge Bar/Conservatory
Well presented space, accessed directly to the rear of the property and from within the main building. This comfortable space offers comfortable seating and dining within the conservatory, surrounded by decking and enclosed beer garden to the side.
Designed to a fresh modern style with wooden flooring and feature brushed copper style bar servery, flat screen TVs and a log burning stove in the corner.
Restaurant
Following the modern bright design, the restaurant/dining area flows through from the lounge bar and is also accessed from the front of the property. Offering covers for approximately 60 with wooden flooring and freestanding tables and chairs, within pleasant surroundings.
Coffee Shop
Located to the right had side of the building with separate access, this side of the business can be run completely independently from the main hotel. Currently closed since covid due to our clients concentrating on the core operation. Very well fitted throughout to a bright modern standard with fully fitted counter area, kitchen and ample storage.
This is an excellent opportunity to grow the trade under the owner operator or to look at the possibility of leasing it out as a small investment.
