Description
We are delighted to bring to the market Whickham House — a detached, two-storey public house extending to approximately 195.13 sq. m. (2,100.36 sq. ft.). The ground floor comprises an open-plan bar area with ample seating, a games area, and a fully equipped bar, creating a welcoming and versatile space suitable for a variety of uses.
The first floor features a well-appointed 2–3 bedroom manager’s flat with private access. The accommodation includes a lounge, kitchen, bathroom, and two to three bedrooms, offering comfortable and flexible living quarters ideal for owner-occupiers or as a rental opportunity.
Offered with vacant possession, this property represents a rare and exciting opportunity for both owner-occupiers and investors. While traditionally operated as a public house, Whickham House offers excellent potential for a range of alternative uses — including hospitality, retail, leisure, residential conversion, or mixed-use development — subject to the necessary planning consents.
