Business for sale

Business with potential to expand...

The Swan Inn, Stranraer, is a popular venue with locals

The Swan Inn is a local-led public house based mainly on wet sales at the moment, but with massive potential to expand.

Proprietors Nicholas and Lisa Arkless are reluctant sellers, but have been offered positions in a family business and need to relocate.

The public house has a large number of regular customers and frequent organised activities, including three domino teams, a darts team and a pool team.  These organised teams are also supplemented by regular events in the public house from the Stranraer Branch of the British Legion to a Folk Club that operates every Wednesday evening, a Sunday poker club and live entertainment on a Saturday night.

The property consists of a public bar (50) with a pool table and two big screens, a spacious Lounge Bar (94) with a 9-foot screen and stage area and two en-suite letting bedrooms. There is also a four-bedroomed spacious owner's accommodation, in walk-in condition, completely separate from the public house, with private rear entrance and superb views over the public park opposite.

Also included in the sale is a large piece of land, currently used as a beer garden and car park, but with scope to build five chalets or two houses.

The turnover of the business is in the region of £175,000 and is increasing. The profits are low as the current owners have attempted to renovate the business bit-by-bit.

Given the size of the owners' accommodation, the beautiful location (there are eight World Class golf courses nearby) and the public beach and park on your doorstep, this would be an ideal purchase for a family or first purchase.

The price is offers over £280,000, based on an actual market value of £300,000.
