The Smokehouse, an American-style bar and restaurant with bedrooms, in the bustling market town of Uckfield, East Sussex, has come to market through Christie & Co, with a price tag of £550k.
The Grade II-listed venue has a large 40-cover bar area, and a 40-cover restaurant. There's also seven ensuite bedrooms, a fully fitted commercial kitchen, and a one bedroom owner’s accommodation on the first floor. Outside, there's a patio for up to 24 covers with a dedicated smoking area and parking for up to 20 vehicles.
Situated in a prominent position on the High Street, the popular pub enjoys a high level of footfall from passing trade, and business and leisure visitors to the busy town. With a unique offering of classic American cuisine, an extensive cocktail menu, and an additional business stream from the bed & breakfast provision, The Smokehouse presents a profitable investment opportunity.
The current owner, South Coast Inns, has owned the business since 2001 and is looking to consolidate its assets.
James Hughes – Business Agent at Christie & Co’s Maidstone office, commented, “The Smokehouse is ideally located on the High Street of a busy rural town. There is scope to further increase trading as well as the potential for previous planning permission to be re-submitted”.
