Property description & features
- Tenure: Leasehold (10 years remaining)
LOCATION
High Bickington is a small rural parish situated within the Torridge District of North Devon. The current (growing) population totals around 1,000 people. High Bickington is situated some 9 miles from Barnstaple, 10 miles from South Molton, 8 miles from Great Torrington and 33 miles from Exeter. The village covers a large agricultural hinterland and has undergone much expansion in recent years leading to a growing customer base. The Gold Lion Inn occupies a prominent position on North Road as a result of which it benefits from a good level of passing and chance trade.
THE PROPERTY AND CONSTRUCTION
The property is probably of Georgian origins with stone elevations under a pitched and slated roof. The Golden Lion offers a main bar, function/restaurant room, commercial kitchen and back up, an air-conditioned cellar, beer terrace and spacious three bedroom owner’s accommodation with far reaching countryside views.
THE PROPOSAL
A new 10 year term with a commencing rent £14,400 per annum.
THE BUSINESS
Although currently not trading, the Golden Lion has long been a venue for good food but with a predominately wet lead trade. It is felt that an incoming Owner could add real value by promoting the food aspect and continuing to promote private function revenue. Much local trade was derived from High Bickington itself and the surrounding villages with the usual seasonal uplifts from local self-catering establishments, hotels, etc. The pub also enjoyed skittles, pool darts and football teams keen to return.
THE INVENTORY
The lease is sold with an inventory of trade fixtures, fittings and equipment which will remain the property of the Landlord.
