Pub/bar for sale in Cherry Brook, Newmarket CB8

An attractive premises which has been under the same ownership since 2011 and has been brought to market with a genuine reason for sale. Our clients have significantly invested in the site over the years and we really do feel this is a great opportunity for a purchaser to capitalise on the huge potential the site offers by firstly extending the limited trading hours the business currently opens, in addition to fully utilising the garden area, offering private hire events, and/or to be used for B&B/Airbnb accommodation. The current owner regularly receives weekly enquiries from potential customers wishing to book B&B accommodation, but he does not cater for that market. Early viewing advised. RX290672

Location

The property is located within a picturesque, rural village and civil parish which is located north east of Haverhill and north west of Sudbury. The property is adjacent to the busy A143 and situated 9 miles from the market town of Bury St Edmunds and 8 1/2 miles from the horse racing town of Newmarket

The site sits on approximately 3 1/4 acres sts and is arranged as follows.

Exterior grounds - A large u-shaped gravelled driveway with space to comfortably accommodate 25+ car parking spaces with a centrally located grass verge accommodating a tree and advertising signage.

The private garden provides a raised decked bench seating area, a fishing lake, smaller stock pond with ongoing works in progress, and a large garden space which is enclosed within mature trees. The garden area really does lend itself to being used for private hire events, weddings and housing large marquees due to the size and aesthetics of this area
