Description
SITUATION
In the charming village of Weare Giffard, this freehold public house presents a unique opportunity for those seeking a profitable business venture (the only pub in the village) combined with comfortable living arrangements. The property boasts a prime location in the heart of the countryside, making it an attractive destination for both locals and visitors alike.
THE PROPERTY AND CONSTRUCTION
The refurbished and well presented property can be accessed from both the front and rear of the property with the ground floor commercial areas consisting of lounge bar, restaurant and dining alcove, serviced by ladies and gents toilets, cellar as well as a commercially fitted kitchen. Above the pub, you will find well-appointed owners or staff accommodation featuring two spacious bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, and a large vaulted living room and open plan kitchen. This arrangement not only provides convenience but also ensures privacy for those operating the establishment. The property is in excellent condition, both inside and out, with a delightful garden and front courtyard areas that enhance the overall appeal as well as providing further covers. There is also a private car park for the pub to the rear.
For prospective buyers, there is the option to purchase the property (5 star Google rated) with or without the current tenants, who are generating an annual rental income of £20,000. This flexibility allows for a seamless transition into ownership, whether you wish to continue the current operation or explore your own vision for the space.
This property is ideal for a couple looking to run a successful business while enjoying the benefits of living on-site. With its picturesque setting and well-maintained facilities, this public house offers a wonderful lifestyle opportunity in a tranquil village environment.
