The Merry Monk is situated in a prominent trading position. Technically the business is situated in the village of Monkton Heathfield although now realistically, this is a suburb of the Somerset County Town of Taunton. The area is surrounded by a densely populated housing district which is set to further grow with the construction of multiple housing developments providing many thousands of extra homes set to be built in the near future. This is a fantastic trading position.
The property is subject to a 20 year commercial lease free of tie which commenced in 2018. Annual rent is the equivalent of 6.6% of turnover.

Flood Risk
Environment Agency open data, checked around the advertised map pin for the listed acreage. Long-term risk counts flood defences; the planning map's flood zones do not. The map pin for this listing marks the postcode area rather than the exact location, so these readings describe the surrounding area. Provided by LandSale, not the listing agent, and not part of the agent's particulars. Risk varies across a holding, so verify before committing.
