The Six Bells Inn has a rustic feel and appeals to the local evening drinking crowd with its sizeable fireplace providing a cosy and rustic feel. Pub games are on offer by way of a dart board. The opportunity to create a food offering is available by way of the ground floor catering kitchen, the introduction of letting accommodation may also be viable by utilising the adjacent cottage.

The business has hitherto been let on a traditional Pub Company style lease and therefore no trading accounts are available. No trade is sold or warranted. Historic trade accounts are unavailable. Prospective purchasers must make their own assumptions as to likely trade levels having due regard to the location and potential of the site.
