Description
A substantial and individual property, which for many years was a Public House before changing to a Licensed Restaurant in the mid-70s. The property in the ownership of the family for a number of years providing an opportunity for a Buyer to purchase a property with much potential.
The property is arranged over two floors, the ground floor being extensive with a number of reception rooms which incorporate the original bar area and function room. To the first floor there are four bedrooms with two bathrooms.
There are a range of useful outbuildings to the rear including garaging, store, laundry room and the original toilet block. The gardens are a good size and well-established and there is a wide parking area to the side of the property. Upon this parking area there was Outline Planning Permission for the erection of a pair of semi-detached houses. This has subsequently lapsed.

Directions
From Leominster, proceed along the A44 Barons Cross Road, heading in a westerly direction. Pass Morrisons Supermarket and continue straight over the roundabout and after approximately 300 metres the property will be seen on the left-hand side.
* Generally speaking Guide Prices are provided as an indication of each seller's minimum expectation, i.e. 'The Reserve'. They are not necessarily figures which a property will sell for and may change at any time prior to the auction. Virtually every property will be offered subject to a Reserve (a figure below which the Auctioneer cannot sell the property during the auction) which we expect will be set within the Guide Range or no more than 10% above a single figure Guide.
By setting a proxy bid, the system will automatically bid on your behalf to maintain your position as the highest bidder, up to your proxy bid amount. If you are outbid, you will be notified via email so you can opt to increase your bid if you so choose.
If two of more users place identical bids, the bid that was placed first takes precedence, and this includes proxy bids.
Another bidder placed an automatic proxy bid greater or equal to the bid you have just placed. You will need to bid again to stand a chance of winning.
