LOCATION

With the River Avon at its heart, the golden town of Bradford-on-Avon lies at the southern edge of the Cotswolds surrounded by glorious countryside. The town is home to around 10,000 people, although many hundreds of thousands more visit all through the year. Some of the many beautiful features include both canal and riverside walks, together with many properties dating back to the 13th Century. The Georgian city of Bath is only a few miles away and this is an ideal location to run a business of this nature.

THE BUSINESS

Has been run by our clients for the last 7 years.

Our clients have a young family and are therefore unable to devote as much time to the business as they would like.

Current opening hours are just from 10 am until 3 pm, five days a week.

Our clients also regularly close the business throughout August through their own choice.

Trading, profit and loss accounts for the year prior to Covid showed a turnover of around £80,000 with a gross profit of around £61,000. Previously annual turnover has been as high as £140,000, again on the basis of daytime opening only.

We are certain that new owners, who may extend the menu and extend the opening hours, will significantly increase this level of trade.

The business is fully renewable under the terms of the Landlord & Tenant Act.

Current annual rent is £15,000 payable monthly in advance.
