Description
An appealing property in a convenient location offering development opportunities (subject to planning); or to retain as a hospitality use.
The site covers an area of approximately 0.12 acres and the main building is of a relatively handsome design to front. This consists of a decent sized bar area (with associated facilities) plus kitchen and store on the ground floor, 2 cellar areas below and 4 rooms plus bathroom on the first floor. To the rear is a parking area. Access is available directly onto Park Street.
The building extends to approximately 2,221 sq.ft in total (1,121 sq.ft ground floor; 712 sq.ft first floor; 388 sq.ft in the cellars) and is in need of modernisation.
No enquiries have been made of the Council but there could be opportunity to extend the existing footprint, or because the pub has now ceased to operate, change the use to residential use. Other properties nearby have access from the rear (via Fairhaven), which could be an option here, providing additional development avenues in the car park.

Flood Risk
Environment Agency open data, checked around the advertised map pin for the listed acreage. Long-term risk counts flood defences; the planning map's flood zones do not. The map pin for this listing marks the postcode area rather than the exact location, so these readings describe the surrounding area. Provided by LandSale, not the listing agent, and not part of the agent's particulars. Risk varies across a holding, so verify before committing.
