Antelope Inn
Description
The Antelope Inn dates back to the 1700s when it was originally a combined dairy farm, brewery and Ale House. During the mid 1900s the property became a full time public house. The property has undergone a recent refurbishment which has been completed to a high standard.
The property briefly comprises main bar, snug, games room and lounge bar. One bedroom owner/managers accommodation arranged over the first floor above the pub. Externally there is an extensive side trade garden, with a raised decking area and parking to the rear. There is an additional managers flat, which can be accessed via the car park along with a detached skittle alley/function room.
The business operates as a traditional country pub, primarily wet-led with a small food offering. Historically, it has been run under management but is now let on a 4-year lease until December 2028 with an annual rent of £20,000.
The pub is well supported sponsoring the local football team and is home to a darts team, pool team and skittle team. Catering for families and children, cyclists, walkers and dogs.
