A unique opportunity in the heart of Northumberland….. due to retirement!
There a few more historic buildings than the Garde 11 listed coaching Inn - The Bay Horse at West Woodburn. Build in the 17th Century with all the original historic features to give this Coaching Inn great character. It is set in over an acre of grounds going down to the River Rede. This beautiful lawned area has its own development opportunities – (subject to planning) for Yurts, gites etc. With parking for 15 cars it is in an ideal spot on the A68 to attract passing trade
The Inn itself has 7 letting rooms all decorated to a high standard. Six are en suite and one with its own private bathroomwith a typical old fashioned bar, pool table area and a restaurant seating 50 people. Perfect for small celebrations – with a link through to a hard standing if a marquee needed to be used for bigger functions.
The restaurant – has its own following with the Sunday Carvery being legendary. Its not unusual to do well over 100 lunches most weeks.
Currently the Owners Johnny and Hilda leave the day to day running to their staff as they really need to retire after having this and other pubs for many, many years. Therefore the accounts have a big margin for more profitability if this was a family run business. There are ten years left of an RHI ( biomass Boiler Initiative ) . This brings in 9K per annum!
There is also a building plot directly behind the Inn with planning for a Dutch Bungalow.
Located in a most scenic ideal situation to explore not only Northumberland but also the Scottish Borders
Price £390,000 Freehold plus Building plot by separate negotiation.
Turnover approx. 7-8K per week plus the annual payment - Please share as I would like more holidays with Hilda and Johnny!
