Excellent commercial investment opportunity.
Within a sought after market town.
Description:
A rare and exciting opportunity to acquire the historic and extensively refurbished Sherwood Ranger, prominently positioned on Churchgate within the market town of Retford. This traditional painted brick-built property, dates back to the late 1800s and was originally known as The Ram Inn, later renamed in 1894 to honour the Sherwood Ranger Yeomanry Regiment. Extensively refurbished and refitted in 2017, offering modern facilities within a heritage setting, suitable for a variety of commercial uses. The property also is conveniently located across from Churchgate public car park, which on an evening provides free parking. Previously operated as a restaurant, bar and contemporary dining venue, offering steak, street-food-style dishes and broad menu appeal. Situated just off the town centre, the property benefits from strong footfall and excellent visibility, sited just off the busy Arlington Way junction, within close proximity of bus routes and Retford station.
Accommodation:
Ground Floor: Entrance, Bar, Dining Area’s, Full Commercial Kitchen & Wc.
First Floor: Additional Dining Space, Second Bar & Wc.
External: Street Parking and Public Car Park Nearby
Tenure: Freehold

Important Notice:
For each Lot, a contract documentation fee of £1,800 (inclusive of VAT) is payable to Barnard Marcus Auctions by the buyer. The seller may charge additional fees payable upon completion. If applicable, such fees are detailed within the Special Conditions of Sale. Buyers are deemed to bid in full knowledge of this.
The Guide Price quoted must not be relied upon by prospective purchasers as a valuation or assessment of value of the property. It is intended to provide purchasers with an indication of the region at which the reserve may be set at the time of going to press. The guide price may be subject to variation and interested parties are advised to make regular checks for variations and should be aware that the reserve price may be either below or above the quoted guide price.
Prospective purchasers should also be aware that the eventual sale price may be above or below the guide level dependent upon competition, and should therefore not presume the guide to be indicative of the final expected sale price or the price the property is available at.
When setting the guide price, the auctioneers have given consideration to the seller’s instructions in respect of their indicated reserve price at the time of instruction. The reserve price, (the level below which the property will not be sold), remains confidential between the seller and the auctioneer. The guide price therefore, is intended to indicate the region at which the reserve price is intended to be set. The seller will confirm their final reserve price close to the auction date and if appropriate the auctioneers may adjust the guide price to reflect this.
Whilst Barnard Marcus make every effort to ensure the safety and security of viewers at properties, we have not carried out a detailed Health & Safety inspection of properties in our auctions and cannot therefore guarantee the safety and security of viewers.
Prospective purchasers and bidders attend properties entirely at their own risk. Particular care should be taken when accessing cellars, attics, exterior areas and outbuildings and boundaries. All non-conducted inspections of vacant sites should be made in daylight hours only and entry into such sites is entirely at the viewers risk.
1. MONEY LAUNDERING REGULATIONS: Intending purchasers will be asked to produce identification documentation at a later stage and we would ask for your co-operation in order that there will be no delay in agreeing the sale.
2.
