The Business
Accounts for the year ended 29th February 2020 showed takings net of VAT of £82,506 split 54% wet sales, 30% accommodation and 16% food. Since re-opening after Covid no catering has been undertaken so takings are wet sales only. Accounts for the year ended 31st March 2024 amounted to £55,817. It should be noted that our clients are beyond retirement age and have been suffering from ill health, which now necessitates this sale.
PLANNING PERMISSION
Planning permission was previously obtained for an extension to the front of the property on the southern side, to create at ground floor an extended dining area and new owners' flat.
A further four en suite bedrooms would be created at first floor, together with the existing manager's flat which would be converted into two further en suite bedrooms, resulting a total of 11 letting bedrooms. Copies of these plans are available from the Selling Agents.
