Parties communes

Ground Floor The trading area exudes charm and warmth, featuring a restaurant with seating for approximately 40 covers and a bar servery accommodating around 12 covers. Two log burners enhance the cosy atmosphere, making it an inviting space for guests year-round. Additional facilities on this level include ladies’ and gentlemen’s WCs, a well-equipped cellar, and a dedicated storage area. First Floor The upper level is divided into two distinct sections. On one side, there is a fully operational commercial kitchen with an adjoining pantry, ideal for supporting the restaurant’s culinary operations. Adjacent to this is a non-commercial kitchen, forming part of the private owner’s accommodation. The remainder of the first floor comprises flexible living space, including three to four bedrooms, one to two reception rooms, and a family bathroom, offering comfortable and versatile accommodation.

Mobilier et équipement

All fixtures and fittings are owned outright and are included in the sale price, except a few personal items which will be retained by the owner.

Les extérieurs

The Queen’s Head benefits from outdoor space that enhances its appeal to both locals and visitors. A well-maintained lawn area provides a pleasant setting for customers to enjoy the sunshine, currently furnished with two tables seating up to eight guests each. There is room to expand this seating capacity, offering potential to further grow the trade. Beyond the main lawn, an extended section of the garden is currently reserved for private use by the owners. However, this area presents an excellent opportunity to be incorporated into the customer-facing space, adding further value to the business. Additional external features include a large shed, a secure storage container, a wood store, and a private car park with capacity for approximately six vehicles.

Le bien

An exciting opportunity to run a wet led public house in Cornwall. The kitchen is currently closed three days per week, so extending the food service times is a quick way to increase the turnover. There may also be an opportunity to utilise the large owners flat by converting two of the rooms in to B&B accommodation. The owners currently have a section of the garden for their private use, however this space could be utilised for more outside seating.
