Description

Description

Nancy's Bordello was a very successful 'neighbourhood bar' for more than 10 years prior to its closure, which was brought about by the pandemic. Popular with students and young professionals, the venue also had a strong function trade.

With another busy pub less than 200 metres away, demonstrating demand for licensed premises in the area, Nancy's presents a superb opportunity for an experienced licensed operator to reopen the site.

Location

The property is located on Argyle Street in the Manors area of Newcastle upon Tyne, a densely populated residential area, primarily made up of student dwellings.

Manors Metro station is just a three minute walk away and Newcastle City Centre is less than half a mile away, just nine minutes walk. Newcastle Business School at Northumbria University is only a four minute walk away and the main campus a further few minutes. The renowned Quayside is also less than 10 minutes walk.

Fixtures & Fittings

We are advised that the majority of fixtures & fittings at the property are included in the sale, subject to an inventory.

VAT

Please note that the purchase is subject to VAT at the prevailing rate.

The Opportunity

The business closed in March 2019 in line with Covid measures and has not reopened.

The owners, The Apartment Group, have focussed their attention on building their wedding venue business and have added numerous new venues to their portfolio during this time. Nancy's being a smaller venue has not been a focus of theirs.

This presents an opportunity for an aspirational pub/bar/restaurant operator to reopen a venue which held a superb reputation prior to its closure.

The immediate area is now far more densely populated than it was when the current owners used to operate the site which suggests it would likely be incredibly busy if it were to reopen.

Development Potential

Given that the property is located in such a high density residential area, it may be well suited for conversion to student accommodation or residential use, subject to the appropriate planning permissions being obtained.

Equally, conversion to office accommodation or other commercial use would be viable.

Business Rates

The Rateable Value as of 1 April 2023 is £35,500. Enquiries should be made with the Local Authority (Newcastle City Council) to determine Business Rates payable.
