Location
This exceptional freehold public house is situated in the beautiful coastal town of Swanage which is part of the area known as the Jurassic coast. It is just a stones throw from the beach with a prominent position overlooking the town on a main route into the town centre. The business benefits from having one of the towns large car parks to the rear meaning that visitors have to pass the property to and from the town centre. Nearby are the well known areas of Ballard Down, Old Harry Rocks with Studland Bay and Poole Harbour to the north and with Durlston Bay and Durlston Country Park to the south. The town was originally a small port and fishing village flourished in the Victorian era which then became a significant quarrying port and later a seaside resort for the rich of the day. Today the town remains a popular tourist resort, this being the town's primary industry with thousands of visitors coming to the town during the peak summer season, drawn by the bay's sandy beaches and other attractions. The area attracts visitors throughout the year due to it's natural beauty and it's proximity to the historic Corfe Castle.
Business History
Meridian Business Sales are delighted to offer to the market this well appointed public house and restaurant which has been in the careful hands of our clients since 2009. Our client is reluctantly offering the business to the market due to a need to relocate nearer to their family. Since our clients took ownership of the business they have invested time and money in the business and premises to the point that it is in a full walk-in condition. Our clients inform us that annual turnover currently runs at £370,000 with a gross profit of £80,000 which is derived from the sale of wines, beers and spirits along with an exceptional menu concentrating on fresh local produce. They have recently again been awarded the Cask Marque for their excellence in the supply of 4 real ales. Other awards include Swanage in Bloom winners and the prestigious Purbeck food hygiene award. There are 2 good sized rooms that have been let as bed and breakfast before and could easily again as they are separate from the owners' accommodation. Our client is very generously including all fixtures and fittings in the sale price which is a huge plus as additional funds will not need to be spent for the foreseeable future. The restaurant enjoys excellent levels of repeat business and also sees many new customers from good word of mouth recommendations and from the excellent location. This is without question a beautifully presented property which is situated in one of the UK's most desirable coastal towns.
