Description

The Red Lion is in an attractive and well established public house that is reputed to date from 1741 and it occupies an excellent trading location at the heart of this upmarket residential village. The main property is of predominately red brick with part rendered elevations under a pitched clay tiled roof and it has undergone major investment from the current owners to include re-roofing, insulation, double glazed windows, heating and partial rewiring. In total an investment of circa £250,000. It is evident upon visiting the property that it will require little major investment for many years. In addition to the main building is the former brewery at the rear of the site which is a modern red brick building that has been converted into excellent self contained two bedroom accommodation that can be used for extended family or potential for letting.

The village of Cheswardine is a sought after residential location approximately four miles south of Market Drayton in the outstanding Shropshire countryside and is found by turning west off the A529. It has good road communication links throughout the area with the major towns and cities of Stoke on Trent, Whitchurch, Shrewsbury, Telford and Stafford all within 45 minutes drive.
