8 Bed Pub For Sale

The maritime port of Whitehaven is located in West Cumbria, a short distance from the Lake District National Park, 38 miles south of Carlisle and 45 miles north of Barrow-in-Furness. Whitehaven port was once the third largest in the UK and enjoyed great prosperity in the 17th century due, in part, to coal exportation driven by the wealthy Lowther family. The town's success led to the creation of a Georgian planned town in the 18th century and it now has over 170 listed buildings. The local area has many beauty spots in addition to a stunning coastline, and the town is within easy reach of the sandstone cliffs of St Bees Head. The property lies on the A5094 in Corkickle which links to the A595 within the town. In turn, the A595 connects to the A66 to the north. Whitehaven has two railway stations, Whitehaven and Corkickle, which operate on the Cumbrian Coast Line between Carlisle and Barrow-in-Furness.



The 18th century property is set over three storeys (plus cellar) and is of brick construction under a pitched tile roof.



Castle Knights operates as a bar and grill and sees much trade from residents of the surrounding area, in addition to passing trade from those visiting the port and en route to St Bees. Our clients currently operate the business from Thursday to Sunday only, so there is the potential to increase trading hours. The property also provides an opportunity to develop 7 letting rooms on the first and second floors, subject to the relevant planning permission. There is much demand for short-term holiday lets in the area and rooms could achieve in the region of £80 to £100 per night. Full trading accounts can be made available upon request.
