Our clients acquired the property some 8 years ago, principally as an investment for the family. The property was subsequently let to independent tenants with passing rent being £35,000 per annum plus insurance rent.

Prospective purchasers will see from their inspection that with a bit of investment and correct promotion, there is no reason why this stunning business and property should not attain its normal levels of turnover.
