Location:

The Hendon Grange Hotel is located in Grangetown in the city of Sunderland, south of the River Wear, close to Sunderland AFC's Stadium of Light. Set in an area of the North East which enjoys stunning views towards the North Sea, this is a region which is undergoing a huge transformation and The Hendon Grange Hotel is well-placed to take advantage of this. Given the size of the building, there is lots of scope to redevelop the site (subject to planning consent).

The property is a large, detached building over three floors. It is of brick construction under a new slate roof and briefly comprises:

Business:

The business has been operated successfully by the current owners for 31 years and now wishes to sell due to retirement. It has provided a fantastic service to the local community and residents of the surrounding area, with many people visiting the pub to watch the football on game days. The Hendon Grange has been run as a lifestyle business by our clients but has huge potential for growth; a new owner could expand its opening hours and add a food offering and/or letting rooms. Alternatively, the premises might suit change of use, subject to necessary planning permissions. The gable end electronic advertisement also generates £4,000 per annum.

The business is currently closed, therefore no trading information is available. Prospective purchasers will need to reach their own conclusion as to the potential trade and profitability which can be enjoyed at this outlet.
