Description

Description

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.

Location

Westbury sub Mendip is an attractive village situated in the heart of the Somerset countryside and lies on the southern side of the Mendip Hills, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Listed in the Domesday Book, this historic village has many period buildings and is less than 5 miles from the city of Wells and circa 20 miles from Bath. Nearby sites of interest include Wookey Hole caves, Cheddar Gorge and Glastonbury Abbey and Tor.

Village amenities include a primary school, parish church and a post office and convenience store.

The Opportunity

The pub currently has a robust business, emphasizing quality food and local drink sales, with potential for growth through increased promotion of its food and function offerings and extending trading hours.

Given its location in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, there's an opportunity to expand by developing letting rooms on the first floor or through a rear extension (both subject to permission), which could attract more customers and introduce a new income stream.
