Fancy running a thriving freehouse that has the potential to lure boating trade from the River Nene in Northamptonshire?
Well, the Cock Inn, in the affluent village of Denford, offers buyers just that, according to its selling agent.
Stephen Taylor of Guy Simmonds said: 'This delightful freehold enjoys an excellent local trade, but in addition to attracting desirable clientele from the surrounding villages, there is also scope to attract 'boating' trade from the nearby River Nene.'
He added that the 16th- century property was the only pub in the village and was 'full of character'.
The pub features 'a lovely locals bar' that has about 50 covers and has an exposed wooden floor, stonework and an open fireplace.
There is a restaurant with 45 covers and scope exists to introduce specialist food and consequently enhance the current food takings.
Letting trade could be developed as there is spacious three-bedroom accommodation and other additional rooms.
'We previously sold this to the present owners in 1991. They have enjoyed a highly profitable business and enjoyable lifestyle, culminating in being awarded the Camra (Campaign for Real Ale) Pub of the Year in 2005,' said Taylor.
'We feel that new owners can build upon these business foundations and take the business to the 'next level'.
'It is rare for such a substantial property with excellent wet sales and net profits to be offered on the open market at a realistic price - hence we expect this sale to be concluded very quickly'
Guy Simmonds has set an asking price of £439,000 for its freehold.
