Westbury Inn, Westbury-sub-Mendip, Wells, BA5 1HA

The Westbury Inn is a two-storey detached period stone building with a bar area and restaurant on the ground floor.

The bar area caters for drinkers and casual diners and is served by a single bar counter, while the spacious restaurant at the rear can double as a private function room.

The front features a trade garden and customer car park and to the rear is a landscaped garden with a water feature. An area to the back of the plot could be developed, perhaps to create letting accommodation, subject to permissions.

The first floor comprises three ensuite bedrooms, a bathroom, a kitchen diner, and a large lounge for private accommodation. There's an opportunity to reconfigure this space to create a one bedroom (ensuite) owner's flat with a kitchen/diner and converting the remaining bedrooms into letting accommodation and repurposing the existing lounge for the same, subject to necessary permissions.
