Gloucestershire - Main Road Cotswold Inn

The hamlet of Tiltups End stands 2 miles south of the popular and renowned market town of Nailsworth in the South Cotswolds. It stands on the main A46 which links the market town of Stroud with the historic spa town of Bath. However, nearby are a myriad of attractive and popular market towns which attract many visitors throughout the year including Wootton under Edge, Tetbury and Malmesbury to name a few.

The subject property, The Tipputs Inn is a traditional Cotswold stone built property which has been extended into an attached period barn providing a very spacious trade facility including extensive bars, restaurants and two first floor self-contained apartments. It is extremely well presented and has an excellent trade garden to the rear and car parking and is briefly described as follows:
TRADE AREAS
There are two trading; the MAIN BAR is a very attractive room with fully equipped SERVERY, boarded floor to the principal areas although some flagged floor to the rear section, traditional seating for 70 or so customers. The room has a wealth of charm and character with beamed ceilings and part exposed stone, part panelled and part antique brick walls. There are at least two feature fireplaces in traditional Cotswold style. The second trading area is a RESTAURANT which is on split levels with a first floor mezzanine dining area. The lower section has Cotswold stone tiled floor, fixed and loose seating and a staircase to the first floor dining area which has a boarded floor, vaulted ceiling and part exposed Cotswold stone walls.

Also at ground floor is a superbly presented and equipped CATERING KITCHEN comprehensively equipped with a full selection of stainless steel catering effects and work surfaces.
