Description
A detached Grade II Listed, two storey, brick built property with painted elevations and various pitch tiled roofs dating back to the 18th Century when it featured as a Coaching Inn. In the modern day it is known for being a real community hub with strong local trade, briefly comprising an open plan bar area, restaurant and three bedroom tenants accommodation. Externally there is a gravel surfaced parking to rear, trade garden and front trade patio.
The property was purchased by the owners in 2011 during which time they have operated the pub and invested significantly in the fabric of the building replacing the roof in its entirety in 2016.
Previously tenanted, the pub closed its doors in March 2025 and is now available for purchase with vacant possession.
