    Location

    Glan-Yr-Afon, Llanasa is located in the county of Flintshire in North-East Wales. It is situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a designated Conservation Area. The village lies between the town of Holywell and the seaside resort of Prestatyn, and the area is hugely popular with walkers and cyclists due to its close proximity to Offa's Dyke, the Clwydian Way and the North Wales Coast Cycle Path. There are also many holiday parks and camping sites in the vicinity. The village is located just off the A5151 which is served by junction 31 of the A55 North Wales Expressway, making the North Wales coastline and Chester easily accessible.

    The detached property, which dates to circa 1824, is of local stone construction with a whitewashed exterior under a pitched slate roof. It has been extensively refurbished to a very high standard throughout.

    Additionally, the vendors have been granted planning permission for a two-bedroom holiday dwelling (all services are connected and foundation works have commenced), and four shepherd’s huts.

    The Business

    The White Lion is a family run, destination country pub which has been the subject of huge investment and renovation over the course of the past few years. It is hugely popular with locals, walkers and tourists staying at the nearby holiday parks. The business offers a good selection of quality draught, guest cask and spirits, and quality Welsh produce is served in the restaurant. The business could generate higher turnover by extending its current opening hours, through more extensive marketing and by hosting private functions and events. The stunning four bedroom holiday apartment is currently being let on the short term holiday market with potential for opportunities withing the short term holiday market by developing the two bedroom holiday dwelling to the rear of the public house and construction of four shepherd's huts the adjoining land. We are advised by our clients that net sales are in the region of £8,000 per week and, in our opinion, this is a perfect opportunity for a family team or an aspiring chef.
