Busy Public House with Holiday Cottages in Kent For Sale in Lynsted- Business 4 Sale .co.uk

Business Summary

Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this busy public house with letting cottages, which dates back to 1600 and which has been in our clients' careful hands since 1998. The pub is only now offered to the market due to our clients' wish to retire. The business generates a turnover in the region of £160,000 per annum with a gross profit of 55%, offering a wide selection of alcohol and quality home prepared food. The business also has 3 x 5-star rated self-contained holiday cottages which are available all year round. We feel the turnover could be increased by extending the range of food available and by embarking on a modest marketing campaign. A website could also be introduced showing location, facilities and menus available. The business has a loyal customer base and enjoys much repeat trade. The premises boast 6-bedroom owners' accommodation over the first and second floors, some of which may be suitable to offer as letting accommodation. There is also a self-contained manager's studio flat with bedroom/lounge. The living accommodation is well decorated and fitted to a high standard. This is an ideal opportunity to acquire an already busy public house with 3-holiday cottages, generous 6-bedroom owners' accommodation and immense scope for future growth and development. Early negotiations with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
