The subject premises occupy a truly outstanding trading position among numerous other complementary independent operators, and adjacent to the local Police station, on the busy main central retail and hospitality circuit of the vibrant and historic year-round tourist market town of Ashbourne.

Renowned as "The Gateway to the Peak District", this lovely and vibrant little town lies at the junction of the A52, A515 and A527 in a delightful semi rural area of Derbyshire with a high volume of year-round tourist activity.

We at "My Own Business" are really pleased to present to the market this exciting opportunity to acquire the valuable leasehold rights to a thriving commercial and residential proposition of real quality and uncommon further potential, which we are confident you will agree represents exceptional value.

This old established hostelry has become a popular and welcoming focal point of the local community in the course of very many years' successful trading by providing all the extremely well fitted traditional licensed bar and games facilities associated with an establishment of this kind, with a good choice of excellent, cask-conditioned real ales always available.

"The Wheel Inn" is additionally a popular venue for regular live televised sporting events and occasional live music entertainment evenings and would naturally furnish any enthusiastic purchaser with considerable scope for continued growth, not least with regard to possible investment in the reintroduction of food trade in order to 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 impressive levels of turnover it has achieved in the course of more than thirty successful years' trading in the hands of the current husband and wife proprietors whose integrity can best be judged by the fact that they are the former mayor and mayoress of the town of Ashbourne.

Licensed from 11am to 11pm from Sunday to Thursday and up to 1am on Fridays and Saturdays, the business currently operates hours at the discretion of the current proprietors and would naturally present a truly outstanding opportunity for anyone seeking that wonderful combination of a thriving, popular and respected going concern offering ample scope for growth in a service sector of consistent high demand, coupled with a lovely home in a very convenient and commercially highly desirable location which promises real quality of life, and we would strongly recommend the earliest possible viewing to avoid disappointment.

The ground-floor premises naturally also incorporate all the usual separate male and female washroom/WC facilities for customers and a useful bottle/general storeroom, together with a former working kitchen which we understand requires complete re-fitting, but which, with a little investment, would afford excellent potential for the possible introduction of food trade in order to exploit local demand.
