Business description

Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer to the market this well established public house and restaurant, which has been in our clients' careful hands since 2003 and is only now, reluctantly being placed on the market because of family commitments. The Old Station Inn boasts a turnover in the region of £6,000 per week with a gross profit of 58%. The leasehold pub benefits from being free of tie. The substantial detached stone property has 4-bedroom owners' accommodation and a separate manager's apartment. There is planing permission in place to change the first floor into 4 en-suite letting bedrooms. There is also a 50-cover restaurant area and the pub benefits from a quality web site. During the week the pub only opens in the evenings, offering scope for all day trading if desired. There is also scope to develop a microbrewery. We feel this offers a new owner a superb opportunity to acquire an established and popular public house and restaurant, which still offers tremendous future potential. Early discussions with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
