The Business

Recently, the owners have run the business on a low-key level, being now semi-retired. Turnover has been progressively managed-down to a level allowing a more relaxed lifestyle with time for relaxation and hobbies, while maintaining enough income to cover the property's costs and maintenance. There is a website (www.millslade.co.uk) and a licensed bar. New owners will purchase the property with the facilities needed to expand the business to a level that balances their lifestyle choice with their income requirement.
