Located on the edge of Scarborough town centre on the North Bay side, it is surrounded by a mixture of densely populated residential, secondary commercial premises and guest accommodation. It is on the main route from the centre to Scarborough Cricket Ground, Peasholm Park and the open-air theatre. Scarborough is a popular East Coast resort with a resident population of 61,749, which swells considerably during the spring and summer months with visitors.

Ground Floor – Accessed via an entrance lobby to the front.
Main Bar – This is open plan and has clearly been divided into separate rooms in the past. It has a single bar serving counter to the rear making best use of the space on offer. There is stripped wood flooring throughout, seating on a mixture of perimeter benches and chairs set at loose tables, darts throw, pool table, log burner, exposed brick chimney breast and wood paneling to the walls.

Ancillary accommodation at this level includes glass wash area, access to the beer cellar, storage space and ladies and gentleman’s customer toilets.

Upper floors – These are accessed via two separate staircases. On one side of the building are the letting rooms, with a triple ensuite room and single room on the first floor and two double rooms with shared bathroom on the second floor. On the other side of the building with it’s own staircase access is the owners accommodation which comprises two double bedrooms, lounge, small kitchen, shower room and boiler room at first floor level with a further single box room and two double bedrooms on the second floor.

Externally there is an enclosed yard space to the rear, which is covered and decked and acts as a smoking shelter and access for the letting rooms. A pizza oven has also been installed in this area.

Our client only trades very limited hours two nights a week. One of these evenings is an open-mic night, which proves very popular. The pub is also open during the summer months when the annual cricket festival takes place and the regular series of concerts that are run at the open-air theatre are on.

Currently the business only shows modest levels of turnover in the region of £60,000 a year net of VAT but is profitable and largely run single handedly by our client. Some of the rooms on the upper floors in the flat are let out to long-term residents and this generates a further £11,000 in annual income. In addition, there is further income from the letting rooms during the busy summer months which generates a further £6,000 a year in revenue. The combined turnover was over £77,000 for the year ending April 2025.

Our client is now looking to retire and wishes to sell the building. There is clearly a lot of scope to develop the public house side of the property, with longer trading hours. The upper floor rooms could be converted to offer Air B and B style accommodation. The building would also lend itself to re-development for residential or mixed use with commercial on the ground floor with separate accommodation above, subject to gaining the relevant planning permissions.
