Meridian Business Sales are delighted to offer for sale this historic & traditional public house with letting rooms and restaurant that has been established since 1627. Popular with real ale drinkers, the pub is CAMRA accredited and offers 6 locally-brewed cask beers. The letting rooms are traditionally appointed, several with original timber-beamed ceilings. There is great scope for expansion and development with the possible conversion of the under-used function room into 2/3 more executive guest suites. The interior consists of a homely bar lounge area with seats for dining, a main restaurant and a comfortable games area. The pub boasts 2 outstanding real fires that add a wonderful charm and homely character and has new stone and tile flooring throughout the ground floor. The restaurant is delightfully appointed and offers 34 covers with room for more. There is an attractive outside seating and al-fresco dining area to the front. The owners' residence is well presented and self-contained on the first floor, offering 2 bedrooms, living room with kitchen area and bathroom. Our clients have carefully nurtured the business since they took ownership 8 years ago, with considerable monies being spent on the decor, kitchen and guest accommodation. Only now is it reluctantly being offered to the market owing to our clients' ill health. The premises are steeped in character and have been constantly upgraded and maintained to where the business is in complete walk-in condition. The business is currently run at a pace that suits our clients with food servings limited to just 2 hours at lunchtime and from 6pm in the evenings. The business sale also includes a unique and extensive range of pottery jugs, fully insured for £20,000. Rarely do such fantastic free-of-tie opportunities arise.
