Black Lion, Primrose Hill, Llanbadarn Fawr, Aberystwyth, Ceredigion

The subject property, The Black Lion, stands detached in a prominent corner position elevated overlooking the village/suburb of Llanbadarn Fawr. Indeed, it does stand adjacent to the Parish Church. It is a deceptively large property with two bars, three bedroom owners' accommodation at first floor and extensive gardens. After generations in brewery and pub company ownership, it is now available for the first time to be purchased as a freehouse for what is a notable time. It is briefly described as follows:

Entrance vestibule with quarry tiled floor providing access into open-plan BAR AREA which is in two principal sections. There is a seated area which has slate tiled floor, dralon upholstered fixed wall seating and quality ladder back chairs with high stools to servery currently arranged to seat approximately 24 customers. The room opens out into a GAMES AREA which has boarded floor, part exposed stone walls and two darts throws as well as a pool table. There is assorted loose seating for a further 10-12 customers. The room is catered for by the BAR SERVERY which has a counter from the central servery which has panelled frontage and display back fitting.

Adjacent is the CATERING KITCHEN which has Altro nonslip flooring and a selection of stainless steel catering effects and work surfaces, tiled walls and a two-section galvanised extraction canopy. The LOUNGE BAR is located to the rear and has counter from central servery, a carvery dispensing area and is part carpeted and part wood sprung floor. There is a raised stage area to one corner and assorted tables and chairs for 48 customers. More recently, it has been utilised as a match room games area with pool table and darts throw. It can also be accessed via its own separate entrance area.

Off the inner hallway are a set of LADIES' and GENTLEMEN'S CUSTOMER TOILETS.

On level BEER CELLAR with delivery access from the side of the premises.
