The Docks, Glyn Road, Sellatyn,, Oswestry, SY10 7DH

A traditional country pub steeped in charm and history. Its bar, listed in Camra's historic interiors, reflects the establishment's dedication to preserving its heritage.

A real community pub, it hosts popular events such as Thursday's traditional Irish music night, continuing a 30-year tradition, and Friday's acoustic jamming night, held in its music room, which boasts a resident piano.

Sellatyn is situated in the scenic Shropshire countryside, combining rural charm with excellent accessibility. It is approximately 4 miles from Oswestry, which offers local amenities and services. The larger town of Shrewsbury is around 20 miles to the southeast and provides historical attractions as well as shopping options. Chester, known for its Roman heritage and vibrant city life, is about 25 miles to the north. Wrexham, a growing town with shopping and transport links, is roughly 12 miles to the northwest.

The area is well connected by road, with the A5 nearby providing access to the motorway network, including the M54. Gobowen railway station, just 3 miles away, offers rail services to Shrewsbury, Chester, and further destinations. For air travel, Liverpool John Lennon Airport and Manchester Airport are both within 50-60 miles, offering international travel options. With this balance of countryside tranquillity and convenient transport links, Sellatyn presents an appealing opportunity for potential buyers.

Refurbished in 2019, the pub effortlessly blends old-world charm with modern touches. While the historic bar remains unchanged, the rest of the interior now features a combination of log burners, stone walls, and an oak-framed conservatory, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Offering three rooms for drinking and three dining areas, the restaurant accommodates over 80 diners.

Upstairs, the renovations include a self-contained flat where the current owners reside, which can easily serve as a manager's flat or self-catering accommodation. Additionally, there are five ensuite bedrooms in various stages of completion, presenting an opportunity for transformation into bed and breakfast accommodation.

We have been advised that the majority of the fixtures and fittings are owned outright and will be included in the sale, subject to an inventory.
