Full Description: Accrington is a town in the Hyndburn borough of Lancashire, situated four miles east of Blackburn, six miles west of Burnley and 20 miles north of Manchester. Accrington is Lancashire's hidden gem that is synonymous with the cotton and textile industry, with Oswaldtwistle Mills being a must-see local attraction. The town offers history, culture and natural beauty, and is home to Accrington Stanley Football Club. Accrington is served by junction 7 of the M65.

The property is of local stone construction under a pitched slate roof. It is set amongst other retail and hospitality outlets in a prime, town centre location. It is apparent our client has overseen a significant programme of renovation and has invested a great deal in the property since purchasing it in 2019. It is now one of the most established and well-loved bars in Accrington.

TRADE AREAS Ground floor trade area with L-shaped, wood constructed bar servery and well-equipped back bar with wooden shelves. Perimeter, window and bar seating for 20, with modern décor and lighting throughout. Furnished to a very high standard. Enclosed spirits/wine cage. Behind bar is a small, on level CELLAR and UTILITY/WASHROOM. Ladies', Gentlemen's and unisex TOILETS to the rear of the building.

FIRST FLOOR DANCE FLOOR area with booth and bench seating for approximately 20. DJ booth, TVs and disco lighting. ROOF TERRACE with bi-fold doors, decked flooring and bench and barrel seating.

EXTERNAL Trade PATIO with pergola to the rear of the ground floor. The patio is on split levels and has pallet constructed seating and booth seating for approximately 20.

Hush Bar trades as a gin bar serving an extensive selection of gins, rums and vodkas. It is popular with all ages and is a popular meeting spot on Accrington town centre's drinking circuit. The business hosts DJ nights, live singers and karaoke nights, and is known for its warm and welcoming atmosphere. We are advised net sales are in the region of £280,000 per annum, and the business has the potential to grow by extending its current opening hours and by trading as a coffee shop during the day. The on level cellar/utility room could be converted into a small kitchen, offering scope to introduce a small food service. The premises might also suit a change of use, subject to the relevant planning permissions.

Current opening hours: Monday - Wednesday: closed Thursday: 16:00 - 21:00 Friday: 16:00 - 00:00 Saturday: 14:00 - 00:00 Sunday: 14:00 - 22:00
