The Northern Counties office of specialist pub and hotel agent Sidney Phillips, is offering a substantial and prominent bar and hotel in Carlisle to let.
The Roadhouse is situated on a very busy main road in Carlisle. Carlisle is a historic city and the county town of Cumbria as well as the administrative centre of the City of Carlisle district. The early history of Carlisle is marked by its status as a Roman settlement, established to serve the forts on Hadrian's Wall. During the Middle Ages, because of its proximity to the Kingdom of Scotland, Carlisle became an important military stronghold.
The property is located just 10 minutes from the M6 offering routes to the Scottish border northbound and the Lake District, Manchester and Liverpool to the south. The A69 links Carlisle to Northumberland National Park, The North Pennines and Newcastle-Upon-Tyne.
The Roadhouse operates as a popular American style bar and hotel benefitting from its prominent high street position. It boasts an open plan bar area with seating for 60, dining room with seating for 28, and 34 well utilised en suite hotel rooms. In addition there is a separate one bedroom owners accommodation with conservatory room.
Michael Watson, of Sidney Phillips, who is handling the sale, commented: “Our client has owned the business for over 40 years and has built the business to become one of the most popular venues and hotels in the town of Carlisle, popular with locals, workers and tourists. This is a great opportunity for an experienced operator to continue our client’s great work and reputation, offering lunch and evening menus and reconfiguring the private accommodation into additional B&B rooms.”
The leasehold interest of The Roadhouse is being marketed off an asking price of £25,000 for a new free-of-tie lease on favourable terms.
