The Freemasons Arms presents a fantastic opportunity to acquire an established business with an excellent reputation.
The Freemasons would suit an operator looking to replicate our client's model but realistically an owner-operator living on site would be best positioned to drive the business forward, maximise its potential and afford themselves the benefits of living on site.
Gross turnover for the period Jul 21 - June 22 is c. £396,000 . Sensible forecasts once fully reopened for a 12 month period, suggest a gross turnover of c. £446,000.
The Rateable Value as per the April 2017 list is £12,950. Confirmation of rates payable should be sought from the Local Authority.
The main entrance doorway leads straight into a welcoming bar area with seating for around 18 and further standing room for more customers. The restaurant area is separated by a chimney breast with wood fuelled stove and seats a total of 36 customers. Ancillary areas include a beer cellar, fully equipped commercial grade catering kitchen, storage areas as well as customer toilets.
Fixtures and fittings are included with the exception of items that are personal to our client.
There is outside seating to the front of the pub providing for around 48 customers. This area has recently been redeveloped and improved, with the introduction of an Indian Stone patio. The car park is across the main road and there is ample parking elsewhere in the village.
At first floor level, accessed via an internal staircase behind the bar, is recently refurbished and very well presented, two bedroom owner's accommodation, with open plan lounge/kitchen area and shower room.
