    Charming and characterful pub, close to The North York Moors. The Plough Inn offers the opportunity to expand the business and increase turnover.

    Location

    Dating back as far as 1496, The Plough Inn is located just off the A170, which links Thirsk to Scarborough. The village of Wombleton is 7 miles west of Pickering and 4 miles east of Helmsley both of which are market towns. Surrounded by the beautiful North York Moors and popular tourist attractions such as Castle Howard and various market towns, like Pickering and Malton, making this a popular food destination for the local community and visitors alike all year round.

    The area is also undergoing development with permission to build a number of holiday parks nearby. It is certainly an area on ‘the up’ and will expect the business to grow year on year.

    The Plough Inn, which is Grade II listed, is an attractive and charming property understood to date back to the late 15th Century. This property is stone walled and timber frame roof construction with pitched tiled roof and extended to the rear. The property retains much of its original features including Inglenook fireplace and exposed timbers.

    The Business

    Operating as a freehouse, The Plough has won numerous awards including, TripAdvisor's ’Travellers Choice’ award and recognised as being in the top 10% of Restaurants in the country. Three times finalists in the Yorkshire Tourist Board’s ‘Yorkshire’s Best Pub’ awards. Also recently named as one of the top 10 pubs in the county in a recent article written by Welcome to Yorkshire.

    The Plough Inn is also an important part of village life with darts on a Monday and dominos on a Wednesday. This also helps with turnover during the quieter evenings of the week. The business has grown since the current owners took over and has become the ‘go to’ place for good quality pub food with a friendly atmosphere.

    With a turnover of approximately £300,000 and a good net profit, there is potential to increase profit due to the introduction of new holiday parks in the area and increasing capacity. Accounts can be made available to serious parties.

    FREEHOLD £395,000 to include fixtures, fittings and goodwill. Stock at valuation in addition.
