Description
Dent is a picturesque, 'chocolate box' village in the secluded and beautiful valley of Dentdale. The village is located in the county of Cumbria within the historic boundaries of the West Riding of Yorkshire in the Yorkshire Dales. The village, with its cobbled main street, whitewashed cottages and ancient church set in a deep narrow valley, is hugely popular with walkers. It is also home to Dent Railway Station, the highest mainline station in England at 1,150ft above sea level, and trains run on the Settle to Carlisle Line. The village lies approximately 5 miles south-east of Sedbergh and approximately 10 miles from junction 37 of the M6 motorway.
The Sun Inn is a Grade II listed building which dates back to the 16th century and retains much of its original character and charm. It is of stone construction with a whitewashed exterior under a pitched slate roof.
The Sun Inn is a popular, wet-led public house supported by both locals and tourists who are attracted to its spectacular surroundings and its cosy and traditional interior which includes exposed, coin studded ceiling beams. It is the place to visit for roaring fires and tranquility, without the distraction of TVs, jukeboxes and gaming machines. The letting rooms are marketed on major booking websites and tariffs range from £75 to £90 per night. The business does offer the potential for further growth through the reintroduction of a food menu, by operating all five letting rooms and by extending the current opening hours. We are advised that net sales are in the region of £180,000 per annum. Full trading accounts can be made available upon request following a formal viewing and with the consent of our clients.
VIRTUAL FREEHOLD OFFERS IN EXCESS OF £285,000 to include goodwill, fixtures and fittings. Stock at valuation in addition.
The Sun Inn is held on a 1,000 year lease which commenced on 1st October 1720. The remainder of the land (the yard and garden) is held on a lease dated 26th February 1762 for a term of 959 years and subject to a peppercorn rent.
No direct approach to be made to the business; please direct all communications through Sidney Phillips.
