Business Description
We are delighted to present this fantastic opportunity to acquire the valuable freehold rights to a thriving commercial proposition 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 community in the course of very many years’ highly successful trading by providing all the welcoming and superbly fitted traditional free house licensed bar and games facilities associated with an establishment of this kind.
“Ye Olde Dursley Hotel” is also a popular venue for private parties accommodated in its versatile dedicated fifty-cover first-floor function room, in addition to offering a high standard of bed and breakfast accommodation in its eleven attractively furnished guest rooms, six of which currently boast fully fitted private en-suite facilities and include a large one-bedroom self-catering apartment ideal for private or staff purposes.
The Inn is additionally locally renowned both for its fine, cask-conditioned real ales and for its full and varied all-day menu of classic home-cooked pub meals, snacks, indulgent desserts and hearty traditional roast Sunday lunches.
All food is prepared freshly to order in its extensively equipped commercial catering kitchen employing the finest and freshest, locally-sourced produce and served in the very pleasant surroundings of a small, but attractively furnished dedicated dining area which may accommodate up to twenty covers in style and comfort, with additional general bar covers also available if required.
This truly extensive freehold property also boasts a separate, superbly fitted and fully self-contained on-site late licensed nightclub (“Capone’s”) which currently operates just two evenings per week, and would naturally furnish any enthusiastic purchaser with considerable scope for continued growth, not least with regard to possible investment in additional en-suite facilities and to further development of its food and nightclub trade in order to fully exploit year-round local demand.
The business would also benefit greatly by adopting a 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 “hands on” director, with the aid of an experienced and motivated team of ten full-time staff who would be an asset to any purchaser.
Alternatively, this versatile proposition would most certainly appeal to someone simply looking to very significantly increase their existing investment portfolio by the acquisition of a substantial and superbly located additional freehold property which would be eminently capable of achieving a very healthy return on initial capital investment, either in terms of rental income from the existing accommodation, or future sell-on value after residential or commercial development subject, of course, to the obtaining of any necessary consents, and we would strongly recommend the earliest possible viewing to avoid disappointment.
