Pub/bar for sale

Aberystwyth SY23

It is a deceptively large property with two bars, three bedroom owners' accommodation at first floor and extensive gardens.

The room is catered for by the bar servery which has a counter from the central servery which has panelled frontage and display back fitting.

The trade garden is located to the rear and side of the property and is an excellent facility, one of the best of its type in the town and even the county. It is terraced and has patio and decked areas as well as extensive bench seating. There is a brick built BBQ area with extensive concrete plinths providing further serving and dispensing areas. All of the garden area (which is in need of a bit of tlc) is enclosed by mature hedges and stone walling and has numerous established trees including ash and copper beech. There is currently seating for in excess of 80 customers.

To the front is a raised terrace with astro turf base and seating for 30 or so customers. There is a draw-on car park with space for up to 10 vehicles in two sections. The property borders the lychgate of the adjacent church.
