The subject property occupies an outstanding and highly visible trading position on the central Main Street of the popular and well populated village of Awsworth, which lies with excellent access both to major road and motorway links (A610, A609 and M1 junction 26 etc.) and to all the many amenities and attractions of the nearby historic city of Nottingham, near Eastwood and Ilkeston on the Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire border.

We are delighted to present this fantastic opportunity to acquire the valuable freehold rights to a thriving income producing home of uncommon size, quality and further potential, which we are confident you will agree represents genuine value.

This old established hostelry has become an important focal point of the local, close-knit community in the course of very many years’ highly successful trading by providing all the spacious, welcoming and extremely well fitted traditional free house licensed bar and games facilities associated with an establishment of this kind.

“The Gate Inn” is also widely renowned for its range of CAMRA award-winning fine, cask conditioned real ales and operates from premises of a size which would naturally furnish any enthusiastic purchaser with ample scope for continued growth, not least with regard to the possible introduction of live music entertainment evenings and to considerable further development of its currently limited food trade in order to fully exploit year-round local demand.

The business would also benefit greatly by adopting a far more vigorous marketing policy of its excellent existing facilities and services, particularly with reference to the possible introduction of online advertising and to further development of its social media presence, in order to improve upon the already high levels of turnover it is achieving in the hands of the current proprietor, with the aid of an experienced and motivated team of two full-time and five part-time staff who would be an asset to any purchaser, and we would strongly recommend the earliest possible viewing to avoid disappointment.

Fitted to high industry specifications throughout, thanks to a recent and extensive programme of refurbishment undertaken at great expense by the current proprietor, these substantial and well maintained THREE-STOREY freehold detached landmark character premises date back to the late Victorian period and provide outstanding and highly functional internal business accommodation.

The accommodation to the GROUND FLOOR briefly comprises an inviting public vestibule entrance with disabled access into a welcoming reception bar area with wood-burning stove in original fireplace, well maintained furnishings for approximately 20 covers and a prominent, fully fitted free-of-tie licensed servery with a range of optics, draught and hand-pulled cask pumps, chilled bottle display cabinets, bottle and glass display and storage shelving and electronic till point etc.

The main bar area, in turn, affords easy access through to additional interconnecting public areas which comprise a cosy 24-cover “snug bar” seating area and a 35-cover lounge seating area, together with the “Arches Room” offering 26 additional covers.

The main public areas also incorporate a range of gaming machines, pool table and dartboard, together with a full-sized traditional skittle alley.

Further ancillary internal business accommodation to the ground floor consists of all the usual separate male and female washroom/WC facilities for customers, together with a fully fitted and equipped working kitchen housing ample work surfaces, storage units, a fully equipped preparation/washing-up kitchen area and a full range of well maintained, industry standard catering appliances, which would naturally afford excellent potential for considerable further expansion of its currently limited food trade.

The ground-floor premises also afford separate doorway access to the surrounding grounds and descending staircase access down to a fully fitted and equipped trade beer cellar/bottle store at BASEMENT LEVEL with refrigerated barrel storeroom and separate access for deliveries.

To the FIRST FLOOR the property provides further excellent business accommodation which consists of a spacious, versatile and well furnished private function room which may comfortably accommodate up to 60 covers.

The function room also incorporates its own, fully fitted free-of-tie licensed servery and affords access on to a charming, flat roof external patio terrace trading area furnished with picnic-style benches and tables for approximately 30 covers.

Accessed by means of its own separate self-contained entrance and staircase from ground-floor level, to the first floor this wonderful lifestyle opportunity provides comfortable, convenient and attractively appointed private owners’ accommodation, which consists of a spacious lounge with separate dining room and a fully fitted domestic kitchen/breakfast room housing ample work surfaces, wall and base storage units, fitted sink unit and a full range of built-in appliances, together with a fully fitted family bathroom/WC.

Further private living accommodation to the SECOND FLOOR consists of two good-sized double bedrooms, together with two further single bedrooms.

The property also enjoys the benefit of gas central heating and double glazing throughout, in addition to the added safety and security benefits of full fire and intruder and alarm systems.
