THE OPPORTUNITY
The Woolpack is presented to a high standard throughout and previously traded as a quality destination village pub and restaurant, located in the popular and sought-after Wiltshire village. The pub closed in December 2022 and our clients have moved on to new projects and careers. The potential to re-establish the trade is apparent, given the overall condition of the property which is still fully equipped with quality fixtures, fittings and trade inventory, making it ready to trade with limited additional investment required. The Woolpack represents an excellent opportunity to re-establish this well-regarded business, whilst diversification of the business should also be considered with new custodians being free to develop their own trading style, subject to the appropriate permissions. Many public houses that have ceased trading are left in a very poor condition, but this is not the case with The Woolpack and there is potential for hands on owner operators, or for commercial investors alike. The sale of The Woolpack represents an excellent opportunity to purchase an impressive country village pub and restaurant with family sized owner's accommodation. The Woolpack is a special place to live and work and a viewing is essential in order to appreciate the full potential that exists.
