Leisure and hospitality specialist Sidney Phillips has brought to market the Hooden Smokehouse & Cellar, in the bustling Kent town of Ashford.
The Hooden Smokehouse & Cellar is located in the suburb of Willesborough, a desirable residential area close to the town centre, William Harvey Hospital and a major employer in the area, the Premier Foods factory.
The property is a well-presented Grade II listed public house, believed to date back to 1648, when it was originally constructed as a coach house. It has been extensively renovated throughout, and all dilapidations works undertaken in the past 12 months - a true turnkey opportunity.
It benefits from a welcoming bar and dining area, additional drinking area, and a four bedroom owner’s accommodation which has the potential to be converted into letting bedrooms.
The property’s pièce de resistance is its expansive trade garden area, which provides seating for in excess of 250 customers across a number of different areas, all with a zonal music system, including a covered seating area, decking, vine covered seating and family friendly area. The gardens benefit from two children's play areas with play frame, wood fired pizza oven, outdoor kitchen and outdoor bar with dedicated stillage and cellar area (ideal for busy summer days and beer festivals.
Robert Cockayne, Regional Valuations Manager for Sidney Phillips is handling the sale and commented: “The Hooden Smokehouse & Cellar is a great opportunity for a new owner to take over a turnkey opportunity, and reinvigorate the business with drive and enthusiasm, taking it to the next level. There is potential to increase turnover by converting part or whole of the owner's accommodation into letting bedrooms.”
The leasehold interest of the Hooden Smokehouse & Cellar is available off an asking price of £65,000.
