    The surrounding road network forms part of Liverpool’s main arterial route and includes the nearby A59 which connects with other major roads and motorways, bringing Liverpool city centre, John Lennon Airport and major towns such as Preston, Warrington and Greater Manchester within easy reach.

    The property holds a detached corner plot and has a fine exterior of brick and terracotta under a pitched tile roof. It is apparent that the property has been well maintained and invested in. It briefly comprises:

    The Business

    The Saddle Inn has been a family run pub for 45 years and is a popular, wet-led public house which gets most of its trade from the local community and the surrounding areas. In addition, it is a popular match day pub which is used by both Liverpool FC and Everton FC supporters. Sales for the year ended 31st March 2023 show a net turnover of £129,226 with full trading accounts available upon request. There is scope to increase sales by placing the current owner’s accommodation on the short-term holiday market; there is much demand for short-term lets in the area due to the property’s close proximity to the city's major football stadiums and its excellent transport links to the city centre.
