This traditional country pub, positioned on the periphery of St. Martins, offers significant potential for renovation and investment. Spanning approximately 1.27 acres, the property features a mix of trading spaces along with dedicated owner accommodation, all set over two floors within a charming brick structure that showcases an exposed timber façade beneath a slate roof.
The interior layout includes multiple trade areas: a dining room that accommodates 30 guests with a welcoming brick fireplace and log burner, alongside a spacious bar and restaurant area designed for up to 40 covers. Exposed ceiling beams and wood paneling add character to these communal spaces. The commercial kitchen is well-equipped with essential catering appliances and ample storage configurations that could easily support expanded operations.
The property’s positioning at the English/Welsh border provides easy access to local amenities in nearby St. Martins and Overton, as well as more extensive services in Ellesmere, including supermarkets and educational institutions. Major towns such as Oswestry and Wrexham are within commuting distance, while excellent transport links via train connect to larger cities like Birmingham and Manchester.
The outdoor space complements the venue's charm, featuring a large trade garden that can currently accommodate about 50 guests but has room for expansion to cater to over 200 patrons—ideal for events or seasonal activities. With tarmac parking available for around 60 vehicles, the site is conducive to high foot traffic.
Having been run by the same family for over 28 years, this pub has established a solid reputation among locals and visitors alike. However, there lies considerable opportunity for growth through extended opening hours or enhanced marketing efforts. Additionally, there is potential to develop holiday accommodations on the adjacent land, subject to planning permission—a prospect supported by increasing demand in the area.
Currently managed as a lifestyle business with limited operating hours, this property presents an attractive investment opportunity for those looking to revitalize an established venue or expand its offerings. The freehold nature of the property assures immediate possession upon completion. It benefits from mains water and electricity connections alongside septic tank drainage.
For potential investors or developers seeking an opportunity in a picturesque location with growth potential, this property merits further inspection and consideration.
