The Anchor Inn is a prominently located, substantial public house standing on the banks of the Coventry Canal between the villages of Hartshill and Mancetter just outside the larger town of Atherstone.  It is located just off the A5 trunk route which provides direct access to the M42 motorway which is a few miles distant.  This area of North Warwickshire is therefore a very popular residential area for those commuting to any of the Midlands and East Midlands conurbations.

The property stands in a prominent elevated position overlooking the canal, on a good sized plot of 0.992 of an acre.  It is a centuries old property which is surprisingly not Listed, and has a wealth of period charm and character.  In addition to the excellent internal trade facilities there is a marquee function room and extensive trade gardens, parking and camp site.  The Anchor Inn is extremely well presented throughout and offers working owners real scope for further development.

Our clients have operated the business for over two years and during their period of ownership have invested heavily in the property, landscaping and extending the gardens which now provide outstanding external facilities.  Furthermore, a camp site has been constructed to the rear.

We are advised accounts for the year ended 30th November 2024 will show takings net of VAT of circa £400,000 with trade split almost equally between the wet and dry side of the business.  This highlights there is further scope to develop the catering side of the business further.
