Description

The Tower Bank Arms is located in the charming village of Near Sawrey in the Lake District National Park, 2 miles from Hawkshead and 7 miles from Ambleside. Near Sawrey is famous for Hill Top, a 17th century farmhouse which was the home of Beatrix Potter, with the pub being illustrated in The Tale of Jemima Puddleduck and situated next door. Esthwaite and Lake Windermere are just a short drive away. This area of the Lake District is known for its rolling hills, lush countryside, walking routes and stunning scenery, as well as fishing on Esthwaite Water.

The village lies on the B5285 which connects northbound to Hawkshead and eastbound to Far Sawrey and Lake Windermere, where the Windermere Car Ferry links to Bowness. Junction 36 of the M6, via the A590 and A591, provides access to the village via Ambleside and Hawkshead.

The property is of local stone construction over two storeys to the main building, under a slate roof. It dates back to the 17th century when it was originally built as an Ale House.

LEASEHOLD Offers Invited to include goodwill and fixtures and fittings. Stock at valuation in addition. 

Tower Bank Arms is held on a 12 year National Trust lease which commenced on the 7th May 2015 on full repairing and insuring terms excluding roof and structural walls. Rent is £46,000 per annum plus VAT. Reviews every 4 years. Free of tie. The cost of the building insurance is paid by the Landlord and charged back to the tenant. The property is subject to the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954. Our client advises that The National Trust is happy to discuss extending the lease with the new proposed tenant.
