• Price: 425000
• Tenure: Freehold
• Business type: Public house

The town of Blackburn in West Lothian is home to around 6000 residents. Located just off the M8, the town lies close to both Livingston and Bathgate. Blackburn lies to 20 miles west of Edinburgh and 25 miles east of Glasgow, given the closeness to the motorway Blackburn is an important commuter town.

The Happy Valley Hotel occupies a central point at the heart of the town – a great trading location to capture passing trade as well as to serve the local community.

The property is fully detached with accommodation over ground and first floor. The public bar is located on the ground floor, while owners flat/letting accommodation is located on the first floor. The takeaway unit is situated on the ground floor with main entry to the left of the public house entrance.

The letting accommodation is accessed by a flight of stairs at the rear of the public bar. The stairs lead to a first floor consisting of 6 bedrooms, living room, kitchen and bathroom. The first floor has been historically used for letting, although it can be utilised as a completely private owners flat or smaller owners flat with additional letting bedroom potential.

The business trades with a premises licence and class 3 cooking consent (takeaway).

The opportunity would represent as an excellent hands-on trading opportunity or alternatively the business could be an excellent let or part letting opportunity for a hands-off owner. Based on historic rents received, an investor could easily rent the units for more than £55,000 per annum. The business is available on a vacant possession basis from February 2025.
