Description
An exceptional opportunity to acquire an established adult entertainment venue in the highly sought-after Torquay, Devon. This former public house has been transformed into a niche business within the adult industry, earning a strong reputation throughout the West Country and beyond. The property benefits from two bar areas, a dungeon, pool and sauna, changing rooms, three playrooms, public toilets, a dance floor, a pole dancing room, and much more. Outside, to the rear, is a large terrace with many tables and chairs, and nearby there is convenient free and pay-and-display parking. The location within the busy year-round resort of Torquay is ideal-only minutes' walking distance to the seafront, harbour, and town centre.
This establishment is located in the heart of Torquay, a perennially popular seaside resort. It occupies a prime position, just a short walk from the seafront, harbour, and town centre. The Riviera Conference Centre, numerous guest houses and hotels, and train and bus stations are also nearby, providing excellent connections to the rest of the Southwest. Torquay is a year-round coastal destination, nestled in the English Riviera and within a short drive of Dartmoor National Park, Dartmouth, and Exeter-home to an international airport and M5 motorway access linking the area to the rest of the UK.This business has been successfully owner-operated with part-time assistance when required, and it benefits from all the necessary licensing requirements to operate an adult establishment. The dungeon is comprehensively equipped, and all beds and furnishings are of the highest quality. A full handover of the venue will be provided to ensure a smooth transition and continued success. Actual trading accounts will be provided following a formal, successful viewing.
