18th Century Hotel and Restaurant in Lincolnshire For Sale in Alford- Business 4 Sale .co.uk

Business Summary

Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this popular hotel and restaurant, which was first established in 1792 and which has been in our clients' careful hands since 1971. The business is only now being placed on the market due to our clients' wish to retire. The restaurant boasts a 50-cover dining area while the hotel has 16 letting rooms generating an impressive turnover. There is scope to increase turnover further by promoting the function and wedding aspect of the business. The second floor of the property could be converted to further letting accommodation if desired. Our clients have owned the business for 40 years and have constantly invested in enlarging and developing the hotel and restaurant to the truly impressive operation we see today and boasts 3-Star rating with enjoyengland.com. The character building offers all modern day facilities and conveniences and must be viewed to fully appreciate. There is a quality web site in place, which offers information about the hotel and restaurant and offers on-line booking facilities. The Half Moon Hotel was originally four terraced residential properties and also stands on a substantial plot which would make it suitable for redevelopment. We are advised that planning for a residential development would be looked on favourably by the local council. Seldom do such well-established and profitable businesses come onto the market that still offer immense scope for future growth. Early discussions with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
