Description

VARIOUS GROWTH & DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE A fantastic opportunity to acquire the reputable Markham Moor Inn, a thriving country inn and restaurant whilst trading. Requiring no immediate investment and ready to start trading from day one, if utilised as it has been successfully in recent years, the charming inn offers several income streams, to include a 60-cover restaurant, 20-cover public bar, an inviting beer garden/ outdoor seating area, and nine restful guest rooms, accommodating both solo travellers and families. For those not looking to set foot in the food services industry, the expansive ground floor totalling approximately 2077 sq ft. has the space, infrastructure and potential to be converted into further serviced accommodation to facilitate the growing, local demand for contractor/ temporary accommodation, subject to the necessary planning consents. Either of the above ventures will greatly benefit from the inn’s imposing roadside location on the A638, a great prominence for continuous passing trade, just off the busy A1 with plentiful parking available. Furthermore, the current demand for housing, both for sale and let, presents a great opportunity to reconfigure the building in its entirety into apartments/ housing of various sizes, again subject to the necessary planning consents- Due diligence is encouraged. This rare opportunity would impress anyone wanting to pursue or expand their portfolio in the hospitality or development sector near the historic market town of Retford.

Enquiries are highly encouraged to fully appreciate the business prospects available.
