We are pleased to offer for sale via online auction this stunning former public house dated from the 19th century. The period building was originally built as a hunting lodge for Abberley Hall Estate of Johnathan Joseph Jones which over time was turned into an abbotoir and was later turned into a residential dwelling. The new owners decided to open a small bar in the snug of the property that later expanded into to include the whole of the ground floor and so began the building new life as a public house.
The current owners have owned and operated The Bell Inn for the last four years and have made considerable investment both internally and externally with the property now ready to be taken forward by a new publican or converted back to a spectacular country residence (STPP).
The property benefits from a good level of local trade that promises to only improve following the completion of a number of exclusive housing estates currently being constructed in the local area.
Please note Pattinsons have not inspected this property. All interested parties must satisfy their requirements prior to bidding.
