Key Features
Location
The Roost on Rock Road is a quality village pub and restaurant with rooms that underwent a major refurbishment programme in 2019 and is still presented in very good condition today. The works carried out at the time of the renovation were finished to a first class standard, which is evidenced by their longevity. It is currently arranged as a ‘lock-up’ premises with the first floor offering letting accommodation only.
It was initially operated by the freeholders for a number of years, but more recently has been let to a third party who have decided to not renew their tenure due to personal circumstances. Therefore, the business opportunity has once again become available and offers experienced operators the opportunity to trade these first class premises and build their own business, whilst operating under sensible tenancy terms.
The property resides in the sought-after residential village of St Athan within the Vale of Glamorgan, being renowned as one of Wales’s wealthiest residential locations and within close proximity to the Metropolitan capital city of Cardiff. The village is well placed within the Vale being some five miles west of Cardiff International Airport, five miles south of Cowbridge, 15 miles west of Bridgend and 18 miles east of Cardiff city centre. It has become a popular residential location within close proximity to the economic centres as aforementioned; its easy to reach location has helped The Roost build its popularity.
