SHROPSHIRE - ELEGANT GEORGIAN INN

The village of Nesscliffe stands 7 miles north west of the County Town of Shrewsbury positioned alongside the A5 dual carriageway trunk route. The A5 historically ran right through the village and in front of the Nesscliffe Hotel, but a bypass was completed approximately 15 years ago.

The Nesscliffe is a very attractive Georgian Inn dating back to the early 1800’s and is Grade II listed. It is arranged over three stories offering spacious and attractive three/four section ground floor trading areas, extensive catering facilities and eight en suite letting bedrooms. It stands in a plot of 5.2 of an acre offering scope for further development and extension. It should be noted that it has been closed for over two years and is need of investment before it can reopen to trade.

EXTERNAL
The Nesscliffe stands in a good size plot of 5.2 of an acre. The historic car park stands on the opposite side of the road but is not included in the sale and is being retained by our clients for residential development. However, hard standing car parking has been created on the south eastern side of the main plot adjacent to the pub with scope for further parking on the extensive grounds which lie beyond. Indeed our clients did arrange for architects plans for the creation of a campsite to the rear of the pub but never actually submitted a planning consent for this use.

Our clients purchased the property in 1994 since when it has been let to third party tenants and therefore no recent trading accounts are available. Furthermore, the pub has been closed for two years so prospective purchasers will need to reach their own conclusions as to the potential trade and profitability which could be enjoyed at this outlet.

FREEHOLD £350,000 for the freehold premises to include any fixtures and fittings that still remain in situ.

Under the terms of the premises licence the business is permitted to retail alcohol between the hours of 10.00 am and 2.00 am seven days a week.

Mains electricity and water are connected.
Drainage had previously been via a septic tank located underneath the old car park, but mains drainage has now been introduced to the village and a connection can be made. There is no mains gas and propane gas had previously been utilised for cooking.
