A RANGE OF CHARACTER FREEHOLD HOSPITALITY PREMISES TO INCLUDE A BUSY CAFÉ TEA ROOMS, HOLIDAY LET, BED & BREAKFAST ROOMS, AND A VILLAGE STORE/DELI WITH PLANNING CONSENT TO ALSO CONVERT FOR HOLIDAY LETTING PURPOSES, ALL SITUATED AT THE HEART OF THIS SOUGHT AFTER DERBYSHIRE DALES VILLAGE. MIXED INCOME STREAMS CREATE A VIBRANT HOSPITALITY VENTURE WITH SCOPE FOR EXPANSION OR DIVERSIFICATION.

Together, The Fountain Tea Rooms and associated enterprises provide an interesting hospitality opportunity with excellent income streams and versatility to adapt the uses. The freehold premises currently include a busy village tea room, together with The Cobbles holiday apartment and two 5* Bed & Breakfast suites. There is also a current village store with planning consent for conversion to provide an additional holiday let unit.

Standing at the heart of Bonsall, amidst the rolling Derbyshire Dales, The Fountain Tea Rooms is a draw for visitors and holds an interesting history. The former public house was rescued and renovated to provide the varied range of hospitality income streams on offer today and a closer inspection will show the buildings and accommodation to be up to date and presented to a modern standard. All in all, a rare opportunity for the enterprising owner to develop a business in a number of ways, whether increased trading hours for the tea rooms to include evening offerings (currently open 8.30am – 4pm), or perhaps to explore alternative uses.

Bonsall boasts a thriving community and a draw for tourists who appreciate the ready access into the delightful Derbyshire Dales and Peak District countryside. The village boasts two public houses, a local primary school, and is visited enroute along the favoured Limestone Way. The larger market towns of Matlock (5 miles), Bakewell (9 miles), Chesterfield (14 miles) are all within comfortable road access, whilst a good range of local shops and attractions are available in neighbouring Cromford and Wirksworth.
