For sale by Unconditional Online Auction.

An exciting opportunity to purchase a recently refurbished two storey (plus basement) building extending to approximately 328 Sq.M. (3530 Sq.Ft.). The property is situated in a prominent and affluent location and is still trading as a bar until sale completion as the “Taps and Wine Bar" affording an excellent opportunity for either an existing leisure and
hospitality user or investor. As part of recent high specification renovations, the building benefits from a ground floor bar and a high quality first floor restaurant dining area with a commercial kitchen. Additionally there is a large basement area spanning the footprint of the building and quality W.C. facilities. Externally there is a seating area to the front of the
property. The main ground floor bar area has seating for over 55, the first floor restaurant can hold 44 covers and the external beer garden area has seating for over 30.

The property fronts onto the corner of Chorley Road and Higher Walton Road on the main A6 road in a prominent trading location approximately half a mile south of Preston in the desirable village of Walton-Le-Dale. It is served by two main bus routes from Preston to Bolton and Preston to Blackburn. The immediate surrounding area is a mixture of residential and commercial properties. A number of amenities and facilities are available locally including shops and schools whilst junction 30 of the M61/M6/M65 motorway networks are just a short drive away. It is also served by a Public Car park to the rear of the property.

This is an opportunity to walk in and take over a successfully run bar well known for its choice of 25 draught beer lines of craft & continental beers, real ales, fine wines & numerous gins and the potential to drive huge growth by fully utilising the first floor restaurant area and kitchen. Ideally suited to an ambitious chef with investor backing. Sale is due to the current owners retirement.

Viewing is highly recommended.
