Business:
The Joiners Arms is currently closed but formerly traded as a traditional village pub that served good food and fine ales. It was popular with both the local community and tourists visiting the area. The public house offers huge potential: it is a generous size and has a well equipped trade kitchen and a sizeable dining room which could, alternatively, be converted into a two bedroom, self-contained apartment (STPP). The property has a stunning trade garden offering unrivalled countryside views. It will be apparent to anyone viewing this property that the holiday cottage has been well invested in. The cottage lets for approximately £120 per night on the short term holiday market and there is much demand in the area. No trade accounts are available and therefore any prospective purchasers will have to reach their own conclusions as to the profitability of this business.
