Description

The Globe Inn lies in the heart of the large village of Cannington which has a population of around 2,300. The village is bypassed by the A39; eastbound will lead you to the nearby town of Bridgwater and the M5 motorway, westbound will take you towards the West Somerset and North Devon coastlines and is consequently a popular tourist route that leads to Exmoor National Park.

Cannington is home to a large agricultural college which was established in 1921 and has links to Brynmore Academy. Also located in the village is a dairy owned by Yeo Valley Organic.

Bridgwater is approximately 3 miles southeast of the village and Hinkley Point C Nuclear Power Station is approximately 5 miles northwest. Hinkley Point is one of Europe's largest construction sites and employs approximately 25,000 workers. It is expected to provide power to 6 million homes for the next 60 years.

This end terrace, two storey property is of brick construction under a pitched tile roof. The pub occupies a plot of approximately 0.21 of an acre which includes the outside trading space.

The business is currently being operated by a third party and therefore no trading figures are available, although we understand that the current operation is wet sales driven. Prospective purchasers must make their own assessment as to the likely trade levels, having due regard to the location and potential of the site.

INVENTORY
The sale of the property will include trade fixtures and fittings which are in absolute ownership of the seller and in situ on completion. Any branded or leased items and any items owned by third parties will be excluded.

An inventory of fixtures and fittings will not be provided by the seller. If required, the buyer may obtain an inventory (approved by the seller) at their own cost. The seller will not be required to remove any such items that remain on the property on completion.

FREEHOLD £250,000 sold as seen and with vacant possession. The relevant notices will be served on the current occupying tenant.

The property is elected for VAT. VAT will be levied on the sale price of the freehold at the standard rate on 90% of the purchase price. Purchasers may wish to satisfy themselves with independent professional advice that this VAT may be reclaimed.

No direct approach to be made to the business; please direct all communications through Sidney Phillips.
