The sale of The White Lion Inn is an opportunity to acquire a solid, traditional pub business with multiple avenues for future growth. The property features a welcoming main trading area served by a double‑sided bar, which leads through to a spacious rear room. This area is currently under‑utilised but offers potential for conversion into additional seating, a games room, or a food‑led operation, supported by the unused commercial kitchen on site.
Externally, the pub benefits from a large beer garden with both covered and uncovered seating, enhancing the overall trading footprint and enabling year‑round use.
Upstairs, the owners’ accommodation comprises a large lounge, two bedrooms, an office, a bathroom, and access to the flat roof. The accommodation is presented in excellent condition.
The pub offers scope for a new owner to further develop the business, with opportunities to bring the rear trading room and kitchen into use and to make greater use of the beer garden.
Tony Moshkun, the current owner of The White Lion Inn, commented, “We have proudly owned and run the White Lion for the past nine years, during which time we have fully refurbished the premises and carefully developed the business into what it is today. It has been a hugely rewarding venture for us, and we are now looking forward to slowing down towards retirement as we hope to pass the business on to new owners.”
James Dodd, Business Agent – Pubs & Restaurants at Christie & Co, commented, “The White Lion Inn is a fantastic opportunity for someone looking to take on a genuine community pub with plenty of loyal local trade already in place. What makes it stand out is the amount of untapped potential with the rear trading room, the commercial kitchen, and the beer garden all offering real scope for an operator with vision.” I
The White Lion Inn is on the market with an asking price of £395,000.
