The Northern Counties office of specialist public house agents Sidney Phillips, is offering a traditional stone built pub near Durham for sale.
The Comedian is located in the rural village of Sunniside in County Durham. Situated to the east of the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Sunniside is one of the highest villages in the County at 1,000 feet (300 m) above sea level and as a result the property benefits from outstanding countryside views.
The commercial element of the property boasts a well-appointed lounge bar with seating for 44 in a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. On the upper floor there is a spacious three bedroom owners accommodation with two en suite bathrooms, family bathroom and living room.
In addition, to the rear of the pub there is a former beer garden, which has been granted planning permission for the erection of two 4-bedroom semi-detached dwellings with garages, as well as a further 8.5 acre plot of land, which subject to planning, would be suitable for a caravan/static home site, glamping or further development (available via separate negotiation).
Gavin Woods, of Sidney Phillips, who is handling the sale, commented: “The business has been built up over the past 16 years and has low running costs, as the current owners are very hands-on. Despite shortening the opening hours, the business is profitable, which offers the opportunity for a new owner to increase further by re-extending the trading hours.”
The freehold interest of The Comedian is being marketed off an asking price of £150,000 (pub only), with the pub and additional lands with planning available off an asking price of £300,000.
