An outstanding opportunity to acquire the lease of a multi-use wedding and event space (ref 1701)

LEASEHOLD Key Money/Premium – Offers Over £25,000.

The opportunity occupies a highly visible and strategic trading location yards from the M9 motorway (Junction 1B). Situated adjacent to the significantly expanding town of Winchburgh, the location offers huge appeal to new owners to tap into an increasing and affluent local market. This visible location on the border of Edinburgh city and West Lothian offers much untapped potential. Edinburgh, Edinburgh Airport, South Queensferry as well as the towns of Kirkliston and Linlithgow are all within an easy 15-minute drive.

Winchburgh is one of the most fast expanding commuter and residential areas in central Scotland. The build masterplan is only 25% completed with a 4th school under construction. The plans include the building of nearly 3,500 homes as well as a train station. This level of expansion and development locally can only strengthen the business potential of the subjects and the site.

The subjects are in the grounds of Duntarvie Castle. Duntarvie is a 15th century Scottish Renaissance castle which is currently undergoing significant and sympathetic renovations by our clients. The marquee occupies a prominent elevated trading location to the north of the castle. It is a permanent all-weather structure, with entrances to the north and south of the subjects. There is a pagoda extension to the eastern side. The ground around is landscaped with plenty of space for BBQ’s and firepits.

Internally, we are advised the floor area is circa 3000sq ft over a timber floor. Seating capacity is 200 with all tables and chairs included in the key money price. There is a permanent bar within the premises as well as an adjoining kitchen shack. At the western side of the subjects there is a luxury bespoke toilet block with ladies and gents’ facilities. There is plenty of private car and coach parking.

The land around the marquee is shared with the castle. Our clients have a historic planning consent for chalets to be built around the pond.

The subjects represent an excellent chance to acquire a multi-functional business opportunity in a key strategic location. Run equally as a hands-on business opportunity or as a “bolt on” business opportunity for a larger company, the subject offers a flexible space with real potential. It is felt the premises can be more effectively promoted as a bespoke wedding venue or as a company “away day” opportunity.

Equally, given the rapid rise and expansion of nearby Winchburgh & South Queensferry, the subjects offer new operators the chance to run the business as a busy day and night venue catering for coffees, lunches and dinner etc.
