Description
The pretty East Cheshire market town of Congleton sits on the River Dane between Manchester and Stoke-on-Trent, within easy reach of the Peak District National Park. Congleton is nicknamed 'Bear Town' because during the 17th century, bear-bating was a popular sport within the town. It is surrounded by stunning countryside and wonderful views can be enjoyed from Bosley Cloud. There are many country parks and walking routes in the area including the Macclesfield Canal and Astbury Mere Country Park. Congleton is seven miles east of the M6 motorway (via the A534); it is also on the A34 trunk road between Manchester and Stoke-on-Trent.
The lock-up property holds a mid-terrace position on a busy main high street and is of brick construction over two storeys. It has been extensively refurbished since our clients purchased the property in 2013.
Our clients have operated Barley Hops since 2013 and it is now a well established and hugely popular bar on Congleton's town centre drinking circuit. The property has been extensively refurbished during our clients' tenure and provides a modern and welcoming environment. The business specialises in cask, craft and continental ales, and the first floor cocktail area is available for private events, parties and community groups. There is the potential to increase trade by extending the business's current opening hours, by utilising the good sized trade kitchen to offer a food menu and through more extensive marketing.
Net sales for the year ended November 2023 are £125,743 with Cocktails on The Corner taking £44,333 for the same period. Full trading accounts can be made available upon request.
FREEHOLD £255,000 to include goodwill and fixtures and fittings. Stock at valuation in addition.
No direct approach to be made to the business; please direct all communications through Sidney Phillips.
Viewing strictly by appointment only.
