Description
A retirement sale of this Grade II listed public house with history, character, and significant potential.
Dating from the late 17th century and operated by the same family for over five decades, this is a property with genuine provenance and a fascinating history.
The accommodation extends to in excess of 5,500 Sqft and comprises the public house together with extensive storage areas, living accommodation, undeveloped cellars and a substantial partially developed outbuilding offering an approximate 800 Sqft footprint.
The rear of the property provides a generous garden, currently used predominantly for vegetable cultivation, alongside a beer garden.
With its combination of historic character, substantial accommodation, ancillary buildings and outside space, the property offers an incoming owner a rare opportunity to create something significant. There is considerable scope to explore, subject to the appropriate planning, listed building, and other necessary consents.
The combination of historic fabric, extensive floor space, and outside areas makes this a truly unusual proposition. This is a hands-on project requiring vision, commitment and investment, and it is certainly not for the faint-hearted.
All prospective purchasers will be required to demonstrate genuine interest and suitable credentials before a viewing can be arranged.
