Location
The subject property occupies a highly visible corner trading position in the popular residential riverside town of Cardenden, which lies with excellent access both to major road and motorway links (A92, A909 and M90 junction 4) and to the nearby towns of Lochgelly (approximately 3 miles) and Kirkcaldy (approximately 4 miles) near the Firth of Forth in the historic County of Fife.
Business Description
We at "My Own Business" take particular pleasure in presenting to the market this excellent opportunity to acquire the valuable freehold rights to a thriving commercial proposition of real quality and uncommon further potential, which we are confident you will agree represents exceptional value.
This old established hostelry has become an important focal point of the local, close-knit community in the course of very many years' successful trading by providing all the welcoming and extremely well fitted traditional free-of-tie licensed bar and games facilities associated with an establishment of this kind, and is a poplar venue for regular live televised sporting events.
Operating from attractively presented ground-floor-only premises, "The Railway Tavern" also hosts all manner of private occasions, including weddings and "Sportsmen's Dinners" etc., accommodated in the property's spacious and versatile dedicated function hall which may comfortably accommodate in excess of 100 covers, and would naturally furnish any enthusiastic purchaser with considerable scope for continued growth, not least with regard to possibly employing its currently largely unused commercial catering kitchen for the possible re-introduction 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 high levels of turnover it has achieved in the course of some twenty-five successful years' trading in the hands of the current proprietor.
The business is currently managed on a day-to-day basis by our client, with the aid only of a small, experienced and motivated team of four regular part-time staff who would be an asset to any purchaser, and we would strongly recommend the earliest possible viewing to avoid disappointment.

Property Description
These very well maintained and attractively presented freehold character premises provide extremely well fitted business accommodation to the GROUND FLOOR ONLY, which briefly comprises an inviting public vestibule entrance with disabled access directly off Cardenden Road.
The entrance leads into a welcoming public/sports bar with laminate wooden flooring throughout for easy cleaning, numerous wall-mounted satellite TV screens, gaming machine, dartboard area, pool table and a fully fitted licensed servery with full range of optics, draught pumps, chilled bottle display cabinets, bottle and glass display and storage shelving and electronic till point etc.
The public/sports bar area, in turn, affords easy access both to an attractively furnished adjoining lounge bar with wall-mounted satellite TV screens and its own, fully fitted licensed servery, and to the property's spacious and versatile dedicated private function hall which may comfortably accommodate in excess of 100 covers for all manner of social events.
The premises also feature a fully fitted, though currently largely unused, catering kitchen with extraction system housing ample work surfaces, a washing-up kitchen area and a full range of well maintained commercial appliances ideal for the possible re-introduction of food trade, with further ancillary accommodation consisting of all the usual separate male and female washroom/WC facilities for customers and a further, separate and fully disabled cloakroom/WC with baby changing facilities, together with a fully equipped and easily accessed rear beer cellar/bottle store with refrigerated storage facilities.
The property also enjoys the benefit of gas central heating and double glazing, in addition to the added safety and security benefits of full fire and intruder alarm systems.
EXTERNALLY
Occupying a prominent corner trading position on the main road through the popular residential satellite town of Cardenden, near Lochgelly and Kirkcaldy in Fife, to the front the premises are well signed and attractively presented with unrestricted customer parking available locally.
The property also features a large and well maintained rear parcel of land with comfortable seating and covered area with plastic roof, which we understand has occasionally been employed as a public beer garden under temporary licences, but would afford excellent potential for any new owner to apply for a permanent licence if required.
