Description

An exceptional opportunity to acquire an established adult entertainment venue in the highly sought-after Devon countryside. This former public house has been transformed into a niche business within the adult industry, earning a strong reputation throughout the West Country and beyond. The property benefits from 8 ensuite letting rooms (including one apartment), 2 bar areas, a large dining room, a games room, commercial kitchens, public toilets, a spacious function room accommodating over 120 seating guests and 200 standing guests, an owner's accommodation (a 4-bedroom apartment), several garden areas, a large car park for over 60 spaces, in an ideal location with easy access across the Southwest.

LOCATION
The property is set on its own land, just short drive to the village of Witheridge. This popular village offers a range of amenities, including a shop, doctor's surgery, restaurant, café, church, primary school, and veterinary practice. Tiverton, 10 miles away, is a busy historic town with shops, supermarkets, and leisure facilities. It also has excellent schools, including the well-known Blundell's School. The M5 motorway is about 16 miles away at Junction 27, where you'll also find Tiverton Parkway train station, offering a direct two-hour service to London Paddington.

BUSINESS
Operated by a husband-and-wife team, primarily on weekends, without the need for staff. There is significant potential for expansion to a wider audience and geographical area. The property's existing facilities, including accommodation, electric hook-ups in the car park, and its central location, also make it highly suitable for a general B&B offering, which previously saw great success.
