General Overview

The Star & Garter has been owned by our client for several years and was, for much of this time trading as a  successful Gastro Pub with letting rooms. In recent years, and to reflect the changing face of the hospitality trade, the business model was re-imagined and the ground floor of the building underwent alterations to create further letting accommodation, whilst still retaining a cosy and stylish Bar and Restaurant.

The business is now accommodation led with two stunning guest suites on the Ground Floor (FOC'SLE & CABIN). Above which, and accessed independently from the High Street are 3 superb self catering apartments,

(PENTHOUSE, STARBOARD & CROW'S NEST)

The Bar & Restaurant are currently being operated by a 3rd party by way of an informal arrangement and as such, we do not hold accounts for that element of the business. 

Should a prospective new owner not wish to operate the bar restaurant then this area of the building could be let on a commercial basis to provide an additional passive income. (Please speak to the selling agent for rental projections)
