Business Summary

The Welsh Harp, Mill Road Sturry, Canterbury, Kent is on a prominent corner position on the main road through the village of Sturry, just a few miles from the thriving Canterbury Centre. The community retains a strong sense of character and quality of life, with is a desirable place in which to live and work. There is outside parking, and the village is served by a local railway station. This Public House, has 2 lovely open fireplace, mixture of flagged and carpeted flooring. This place certainly has a warm charm, and is currently the only open public House in Sturry. The is huge scope for a food operation, which currently there is none, or even can be changed to a high quality restaurant. Has 4/5 bedroon accomadation over, which could be let!.. POSSIBLE 5 LETTING ROOMS!! Offers Invited.

This well-established village public house, which has been in our clients’ hands since 2005 and which is only now being placed on the market due to our clients’ wish to retire. The business generates a turnover in the region of £100,000 + per annum with a gross profit of 60 - 65%. A new owner could easily increase turnover by offering Traditional pub fare or restaurant quality cuisine, as there are 30 covers already in place, which could be increased to around 60. There is currently no food operation at the Welsh Harp, we feel that this could increase business substantially.

Allso live music and special theme nights would also prove popular, as this is a strong residential area, but also a huge catchment area for students attending the Universirsities and colleges of Canterbury. There are currently 6 darts teams, that support the public house, a large pool area, which would be better used as restaurant space for better returns. The pub was redecorated throughout in 2009 and is in a truly walk-in and trade condition. There is 4/5 bedroom owners’ accommodation and a car park for approximately 10 vehicles. We feel this represents an ideal lifestyle change opportunity to acquire a village pub, which is very much at the heart of the community and offers huge potential to the right buyer.
