Location(GL14 2SL)

Having an almost unopposed dominance of the High Street of this Market town the business is uniquely placed to capitalise on its position less than 50m from the “Triangle”, which is the centre of CINDERFORD where all the local shops and business services are based. CINDERFORD is set on the eastern edge of the FOREST OF DEAN in Gloucestershire. Just a few minutes walk from the town will find you in the forest. Cinderford has a population of around 7500. The local Brewery, The Freeminer Brewery, which is named after the ancient right to mine coal in the Forest of Dean, could be a good local source of cask beers, which are at the moment absent from the Lion.

Property Description

The property is of traditional brick construction with rendered finish topped with a traditional slate roof. Rear extension to the pub is brick built and render with flat roof.
Entrance is from the High street into the main open plan bar area which has sofa and coffee table seating adjacent to the bar which has bar seating. Flooring is of stained wood with slate tiling to bar frontage. The bar is of timber and brushed aluminium panels giving it a modern bar appearance and this is echoed by the modern back fittings and counter fonts. A ceiling projector is used on a wall to give an edge to the entertainment and a sound system is incorporated. Towards the back of the “L” shaped room is the pool table which is separated from the main area and has its own monitor. A main spacious passageway leads to the toilets, store rooms and access to the underground cellar, which is a traditional vaulted ceiling and blue brick thrawls for cask ales. The main passage also affords access to the private accommodation and to the enclosed garden patio area. There are three linked rooms presently used as storage but could be converted with little effort into trading space. The external façade of the pub does not give any clues to what lies within

Owners Accommodation

Located on the first floor this extensive flat with four good sized bedrooms also has a large kitchen diner, lounge and bathroom. The present Licensee has not prioritized the development of the private quarters and it offers a blank canvas for a new owner to personalize

Externals.

Access to the rear of the property is via an old coaching style archway which is also the access to a public car park above and behind the Pub. At present four or five cars can be parked but with the removal of an old empty outbuilding approximately 20 cars could be accommodated. With the car park complete and the public car park only 50 meters away the Town centre parking restrictions usually experienced by this type of property are negated. There is a small grassed area at high level which could be accessed through the enclosed Patio area. The Patio is fully enclosed and sheltered and has picnic style bench seating for 40+ standing. It has large umbrellas, patio heater and wall lighting. It is still to be planted and when complete will afford an intimate outside area that enhances the Pub.

Premises Licence

We are advised that the business currently trades approximately 59 hours per week.
The Premises license allows for a 7am opening every day until 0.30am Monday & Tuesday, and until 1.00am on Thursdays, 2.30am on Fridays & Saturdays and until 1.30am on Sundays. Actual trading hours at the moment are from 5.30pm-11.00pm Monday to Thursday, 1.00pm-1.00am Friday,12.00 noon-1.00am Saturday and 12.00 noon till 11.00pm Sunday. There is a requirement on the licence for CCTV (installed) and doormen in attendance when opening after 1.00am. Prospective purchasers are advised to fully acquaint themselves with all conditions of the Premises licence. A personal licence will be required and our training associates can assist with this for you. Present opening patterns leave plenty of scope to expand the market offering of the present operator who has concentrated on the night time economy.

Tenure

Currently the business is held on a free of tie lease however we are able to offer the property and business totally freehold and with VP (vacant possession).

Services

We are advised that the business has the benefit of having all mains services connected to the building. Business rates payable are a reasonable £1,600 with water rates of £1,300.

The Business

The business is at present run under a lease but is for sale as freehold with vacant possession. The present operator has traded at the Pub for 4 years and has provided trading accounts to Sept 2007 show a turnover of £208,799 inc, vat with a reconstituted net profit of £62,000.and a wet only GP of 57%. The pub has 100% wet trade. The business at the moment enjoys a very healthy 200+ barrels per year, all keg beers. The flourishing real ale market has not been accommodated here and is wide open for development. Presently, little use is made of potential early morning or lunchtime trade in the High Street and this could be a large untapped market. Although there is no catering kitchen at the moment there is considerable room and scope to include one. With future investment it could rise to the next level building on its healthy present wet trade.

A HEALTHY, PROFITABLE BUSINESS WITH UNUSED POTENTIAL FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT AND EXPANSION. DO NOT BE PUT OFF BY ITS TRADITIONAL EXTERIOR THERES MORE BEHIND THE DOORS THAN YOU THINK.
