Business Summary

Falcon Commercial are delighted to offer for sale this extremely well presented public house with 5 bedroom owners accommodation and private gardens that contain a 12m swimming Pool. The premises date back to the 1700’s and is now only being offered to the market due to the owner‘s wish to retire.

The Swan Inn enjoys an all year round trade and has a turnover of wets sales only, which is in the region of £80,000 per year with a healthy gross profit margin.

This truly turnkey opportunity has been under our client’s stewardship for 4 years during which time they have carried out major refurbishments that include putting in the swimming pool. We feel that this opportunity represents a fantastic base on which to build upon possibly by introducing a restaurant. Early negotiations with Falcon Commercial are highly recommended.
