The North West office of specialist pub agent Sidney Phillips is offering a stunning and unique canal side public house in Leigh for sale.
The Waterside Inn is in a Grade II listed building, formerly a mill, overlooking the Leeds and Liverpool Canal in the Greater Manchester town of Leigh. The town is renowned for its rugby league team, Leigh Leopards and is located between Liverpool and Manchester and seven miles south of Wigan and lies just off the A580 East Lancashire Road which in turn links to the M6 and M60 motorways.
The trade area is set over the ground floor with two section trade area offering seating for 134 and is stylishly decorated and furnished throughout whilst retaining many of the building’s original features, sizeable central bar servery and well equipped three section commercial kitchen. The property’s unique selling point is the stunning canal side trade space which offers seating for in excess of 100 and is hugely popular in the spring and summer months. The property further benefits from owners’ accommodation over two floors, as well as parking for 22 vehicles.
Dean McVay of Sidney Phillips, who is handling the sale, commented: “The Waterside Inn offers a great opportunity for an experienced operator or chef to inherit this hugely popular food-led public house which is highly profitable and has a growing reputation attracting custom from not just the local area and but further afield and becoming a destination pub”.
The leasehold interest of The Waterside Inn is being marketed off an asking price of £160,000.
