Sidney Phillips has been instructed to market for sale a superb opportunity to acquire a very successful free-of-tie business, with little to no investment required.
Located in a central position in the historic Essex village of St. Osyth, the Red Lion has been heavily invested in over recent years and as a result is presented to a superb standard throughout. The Red Lion is a true turn-key opportunity with no initial investment required by a purchaser, nor in the years to come.
The village acts as a hub to the surrounding villages due to its quaint yet busy high street which houses a range of local and boutique businesses, hugely popular during the summer months for day trippers, especially from London seeking to enjoy the surrounding countryside, St. Osyth beach and attractions at Clacton-on Sea. St. Osyth’s beach contains Essex’s largest concentration of caravan parks which boosts the local population in the summer months by an estimated 7,000.
The property boasts a bar, games room and two dining rooms. In addition to a two bedroom owners’ accommodation, the premises benefits from four letting bedrooms, which given the lack of letting accommodation in the area, is often fully booked.
In addition to a large gated car par, the Red Lion houses the village’s only outside trade space, being a superbly presented trade garden with gazebo, outdoor TV and LED lighting.
The business operates as a traditional old English village pub with pub fayre food offering and is popular all year round with local drinkers and diners as well as being highly successful in drawing in custom from seasonable visitors to the area. The Red Lion is a very healthy and successful public house business, which is apparent from the trade accounts.
The Red Lion is a rare opportunity for a first time or experienced buyer to take on a highly successful and ready-made business which requires no investment. A new operator could further turnover with an increase in the rent generated from the letting of the commercial units, as well as further advertising to greater push the letting accommodation.
The leasehold interest of the Red Lion is available off an asking price of £95,000.
