Description

Refurbished and Ready-to-Trade Coastal Public House. Strong Seasonal Trade with Excellent Food and Wet-Led Potential.

The Sandygate Inn occupies a prominent and highly visible trading position at the gateway to Dawlish Warren, one of the region’s most popular coastal resorts. The property sits adjacent to the main access route into the Warren and is strategically positioned to capture passing trade from both vehicular and pedestrian traffic entering and leaving the resort.Dawlish Warren itself is a well-established holiday destination, renowned for its sandy beach, nature reserve and wide range of holiday parks, caravan sites and visitor accommodation. The area experiences significant seasonal uplift, attracting substantial volumes of tourists, day visitors and families throughout the spring and summer months, in addition to a consistent level of local trade from Dawlish and the surrounding coastal communities.In terms of connectivity, the property is exceptionally well placed. Dawlish Warren railway station is located within close proximity, providing regular mainline services along the scenic Exeter to Plymouth coastal route, with direct connections to Exeter St David’s and onward national rail links. The A379 coastal road runs immediately nearby, linking the property to Exeter (approximately 12 miles to the north) and Teignmouth to the south, ensuring ease of access for both visitors and staff.

GENERAL INFORMATION

BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY

The Sandygate Inn has been closed since January for refurbishment works and is a genuine turnkey operation, enabling an incoming tenant to commence trading immediately with minimal additional capital expenditure. The recent refurbishment means the property is ready for occupation (subject to incoming tenant equipping the catering kitchen) and ideally positioned to capture the forthcoming holiday season.

The opportunity is particularly well suited to experienced operators seeking a strong seasonal business with significant potential. The location lends itself to a food-led, family-friendly offering, supplemented by drinks trade and events, with scope to further enhance turnover through extended trading hours, themed evenings and the introduction of letting accommodation.

LETTING TERMS

The property is available by way of a new lease at a guide rent of £30,000 to £40,000, on terms to be agreed.

The landlord is prepared to be flexible and supportive in order to secure a suitable operator, with the potential for an initial short-term arrangement leading into a longer-term lease, subject to performance and covenant strength. A 6 month rental deposit – negotiable.

Further details are available upon request.
